...East. Even in his old and new home states of Massachusetts and New York, efforts to chip away at his support will probably deprive him of some votes. The situation in Vermont seems symptomatic of his slowing momentum. After Governor Philip Hoff declared for Kennedy, a pro-Humphrey revolt almost cost the Governor his own seat at the state convention that will select national delegates. "I'm quite surprised," Hoff said, "at the lack of support Kennedy has generated in Vermont and in the nation...
...Humphrey let slip the merest hint of differences with the White House. Once in a while, his old logorrheic fervor would earn Johnson's displeasure, as when in 1966 he commented on urban riots: "With rats nibbling on my children's toes, I might lead a pretty good revolt myself." He also called for a "Marshall Plan" for the cities when the White House was playing down big new spending programs. But generally he disagreed with few Administration policies. On Viet Nam, Humphrey has pressed for greater social reform, fewer grand search-and-destroy missions...
...tried to make them a showcase for Aryan supremacy, and might have succeeded but for the herculean efforts of a U.S. Negro named Jesse Owens. The 1956 Summer Games were marred by bitter East-West disputes, denunciations and defections-understandably enough, since they were staged soon after the Hungarian revolt and the Suez crisis. And last February's Winter Olympics at Grenoble produced their quota of incidents: the angry withdrawal of North Korea-because it insisted on being called the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea"; the cries of outrage from East Germany after three of its tobogganists...

While many white Memphians initially supported Loeb's stand, they soon fretted over their city's fading image and the threat...
...George Lucas's THX 1138 4EB (USC), which is as dazzling as advance reports (Newsweek's, among others) had suggested. Lucas's premise comes direct from Alphaville and 1984: in a computer-run dehumanized society where everyone is numbered and serves a function, one man is in undefined revolt. The entire action of the film consists of his running through endless corridors, largely seen through computer monitors. The idea is simple and effective, and extraordinarily well filmed; the initial shot of the rebel, THX 1138 4EB, running toward the camera of a closed-circuit television instantly evokes a gut empathetic...
