...opinion that the Leninist system the Communists were trying to force on his fellow countrymen was a form of immoral slavery every man of good will must fight against. He was critical of some of the things done in the name of the Nationalist cause. He wanted it pure enough to gain the strength needed to win out over Communism and bring meaningful new life to the Vietnamese people...
...keeping his dresses short and snappy. Bill Blass is turning out a half-hearted 50%-midi collection; Oscar de La Renta promises to go to "all lengths for spring and summer," but is flinging caution-and leftover minis-aside for a fall collection destined to be 100% pure midi. That will leave him two seasons behind James Galanos, whose current collection shows not so much as a smidgen of knee. Says he for the midi: "It was unavoidable. The time was right, and women are ready." Mrs. Richard Nixon appears to be, anyway. On a shopping trip to New York...
...wonder is that a few emerge unscathed. Director Sidney Furie (The Leather Boys, The Ipcress File) uses film gimcracks that have become pure convention: oblique camera angles, elliptical scene shifts, blinding lights to denote oppressive authority. Still, he maintains an even pace that helps tone down the film's giddy aspirations.

But he approaches the role with cheerful pugnacity instead of that air of insufferable concern that overlays most screen lawyers. The master craftsman in this melange, though...
...novel In Transit, Brigid Brophy visualizes the whole modern world as an airport waiting room, calling it, "a droplet of the twentieth century; pure, isolated, rare twentieth century." She must have been thinking of Paris' Orly Airport. When they land at Orly, tourists are only 14 miles from the heart of Paris. But before they depart for the city, they might do well to look around. If they do, they will discover why 3,200,000 people came to Orly last year, a million more than visited the Eiffel Tower-not to fly, but simply to sample the charms...
...group he used to go with, and how they had "rules about smoking." Daria casually recalls hearing of them: "Oh yeah, they can't imagine things..." Although she suggests playing a "death game" in the desert, she is Antonioni's hope for life, partly because of her pure responses (feeling "at home" in the desert) but also simply because she survives the course of the film. Mark may be the first white militant in Commercial Narrative Film, but he is marked by impotence and fatal lack of vision; his response to the desert is that it is dead...
