...have given one man sole credit for the cultural and industrial rebirth of a state that you describe as being composed almost entirely of boors and rustics. I believe that if you looked a little more deeply into a complete cross section of our lovely state, you would find the intelligentsia to be composed not entirely of Yankees and visitors. Well-educated sons and daughters were returning to Arkansas before Rockefeller. It was no 13-year money miracle. May Rockefeller's administration be successful -but not at the expense of Arkansas...
...should be interested to learn how the two young men (Mr. George E. Engdahl Jr. and Mr. Robert M. Conway) have fared since they dared to write -and have published -a letter [Dec. 2] correctly stating that the stand of the Roman Catholic Church is "narrow-minded, archaic," etc., rebirth control.

The principle of "Maphilindo," endorsed by Marcos' predecessor, Diosdado Macapagal, idealized the hope of Asia's Malay nations (Malaysia...
...fleeing animals, the movie gallops toward terror and despair--and still the slapstick, only mildly successful in the begining, drags on. The last scenes are unabashed surrealism, as the whole second half of the show should have been. There are teasing ideas, of beauty and the beast and rebirth, among other things, that are the most delicate and satisfying form of symbolism. But there is too much of an attempt at humor, at slapstick tragedy...
