THIS critical pecking precedes a confession that this reviewer sat through Demoiselles with a happy idiot grin on his face, intensely pleased to watch beautiful people gaze at one another and sing lines like, "Mais tu es merveilleuse," and "Son profil est celui de ces vierges mythiques qui hantent les musees et les adolescents." Michel Legrand's music (never absent--like Cherbourg, the film is entirely sung) makes much use of half a dozen excellent themes; a ridiculously Rachmanioffy piano concerto and the chanson de Maxence are particularly memorable. Demy's lyrics simple and direct ("Estelle loin...
Such provocation is not forthcoming, however, from most of the works. "La Petite Fille Qui Voulet Entrer a Carmel" is a large collection of plates from a novel by Ernst, which, though they contain strange conglomerations of figures pasted together, and remind us of the association between surealist art and literature, are strangely static and uninteresting as they hang, a quality which unfortunately repeats itself throughout the show. This is partially due to the limited nature of the exhibit--that it is mainly pencil and photoengraving on paper and therefore not so powerful or organically real as much work...
...saying much; even then, an armed convoy was needed to traverse all major roads. Sixty of the 252 R.D. teams assigned to hamlets are still out of position, unable to go back because security cannot be guaranteed them. One area abandoned: the coastal strip just north of Qui Nhon.

Nevertheless, as another U.S. official put it: "My heart went up into my throat when the Tet offensive came...
...fell on Danang, site of the giant Marine base, where 300 Viet Cong infiltrated to the boundary of the Danang airfield and the walls of the South Vietnamese I Corps Headquarters before being driven back. Then, in a domino pattern, the attacks moved southward through the coastal cities of Qui Nhon, Tuy Hoa and Nha Trang, leapfrogged over into the highland cities of Kontum and Pleiku and continued southward into the Delta?where some of the first attacks came only at week's end. The timing was as sequential as a mammoth string of Tet firecrackers going off one after...
...story about Gordon McLendon's ban on "suggestive" records [May 26] was disgusting. Honni soit qui mal y pense. Most "adult" minds could find dirt in anything if they looked for it. Mr. McLendon may be able to ban records, but the teen-agers are the ones who buy them, and we do not have to buy records we do not like. It is our business how we interpret each record. Has anyone ever thought that we might buy records for other reasons than "dirty messages"? You can find these in any alley, and you do not have...
