YOUR OWN THING. The old plot of Twelfth Night slides surprisingly well into the world of the kids of the '60s and their talk of sexual hang-ups and his-and-her looks. Shakespeare's talented collaborator in this thoroughly delightful rock-musical is Writer-Director Donald Driver...
...midst of Washington's worried deliberations over Viet Nam and Korea last week, Secretary of State Dean Rusk took time out to join Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler on a quiet but urgent mission to Little Rock, Ark. There, in The Coachman's Inn, the two Cabinet members spent a precious two hours and ten minutes with Representative Wilbur Mills in yet another effort to enlist his support for the President's tax bill.

Worse yet was It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, a comedy...

Justice John Harlan pointed out that, rather than being superfluous, the ban on burning or destroying the cards might well be seen as a legitimate way for Congress to ensure that registrants carry their cards at all times. Most definite of all was Justice Hugo Black, who has long been known as an uncompromising foe of restrictions on free speech. Card burning did not seem to him to be covered by the First Amendment guarantee...
