That approach is rarely necessary, since few alumni really try to evade their schools. Former Rider College Student David Linowes said he was "not at all annoyed" at being found by Tracers-"I never knew I was missing." He gave the college $20. Roy Bode, alumni relations director at Catholic University of America, says that Tracers found more than 4,000 C.U. alumni, whose contributions helped raise the university's alumni fund from $70,000 to $150,000 last year. The University of Pennsylvania was pleased with Tracers' work in finding 300 alumni, but has since hired...
...Jesus Raza (Jack Palance). "What a name for the bloodiest cutthroat in Mexico!" roars Land Baron Ralph Bellamy. "Last week he kidnaped my wife." When the contraband wife is $100,000 worth of woman like Claudia Cardinale, matters are urgent enough to enlist Lee Marvin as a former Rough Rider, Woody Strode as a cunning scout, Robert Ryan as a nail-hard ex-cavalryman, and Burt Lancaster as a passionate explosives expert with a yen for "100-proof whisky, 90-proof women and 14-karat gold...
Both houses also zipped through the $58,067,472,000 defense-appropriations bill, which includes-for no ascertainable reason-a rider that gives the President the unrequested power to activate some 1,000,000 military reservists without first declaring a national emergency. Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen even managed to insert an amendment in a public-works bill that authorizes the President to impound 20% of the funds Congress allows for domestic programs because of the "unpredictability" of the war in Viet Nam. The Senate approved it, even though it was simply a Dirksen exercise in oneupmanship. If the House...
...Cunning Rider. Besides the irksome presence of such minuscule bills, there was always the danger that sloppy language or slippery shirttail riders would go through unnoticed in the rush. Last week a Senate amendment to deny poverty funds to civil rights rioters was passed - but only after its sponsor, Virginia Democrat Harry Byrd Jr., hurriedly rewrote it on the Senate floor because even he was unable to explain what his original wording meant. Oregon's Democratic Senator Wayne Morse cunningly pasted a rider on the higher-education aid bill that, if passed, would grant home rule to the District...
...Beginning to the end. The Word is interpreted altogether literally, neither revitalized with the logic of drama nor illuminated by the magic of myth. The film simply plunges ahead with quasi-King Jamesian narration, supplied by Playwright Christopher Fry and spoken by Huston himself, a mighty celestial circuit rider on the sound track. "God blessed them and said: Multiply," the voice intones, clearing the way for a shot of fuzzy, nuzzling seals and simultaneously raising questions of identity. There is somebody up there, all right, but who? A director, a Deity, or Our Man in Disneyland...
