...three-dimensionality, rather like the great tracks through the forests of Snow White and Bambi. Disney's craftsmen might have made better visual definitions of characters-it's sometimes hard to tell one cottontail from another -but the vocal characterizations by such English worthies as Ralph Richardson, Harry Andrews and Denholm Elliott are never confusing. The English pastoral tradition, both in painting and hi literature, informs the movie in a subliminal way that is very attractive. It even makes the largest miscue, a dreadful pop song called Bright Eyes sung by Art Garfunkel, almost bearable...
After that loss, Bellotti lost the Attorney General's race in 1966 to Elliot L. Richardson '41 and ran a poor third in another race for the governorship. However, Bellotti would not quit campaigning. It was his life. He talked to local clubs and groups, he shook more hands and remembered people's names. His comeback has been impressive; a recent poll ranked him as the second most popular Democrat in the state, following Sen. Edward M. Kennedy '54.

...unsubstantiated reports that there was "new evidence" of a conspiracy. Part of the committee's increased professionalism followed the appointment of G.

"She is vindictive, snaps back and is autocratic as she can be," charges conservative State Senator Hubert Leon ("Bill") Richardson, who launched the campaign to unseat her. Richardson accuses the judge of poor administration and using judicial appointments to consolidate her own political power. Off the record, a few of her colleagues on the court echo the last complaint. Of Bird's practice of using lower court judges to fill temporary...
When asked if her husband killed the President, she said softly: "Yes, I do believe he did. I believe the man was capable of it." She also agreed with a suggestion from North Carolina Democrat Richardson Preyer that Oswald's motive was probably not political but a product of his own twisted ego. He would probably, she said, have gone after whoever was President at the time...
