...jack of clubs. He lifts one knee defensively so that the heroine, whom he is supposed to adore, has to make a sudden flanking movement if she wishes to embrace him. Mr. Harvey whacks away at nearly all the heroines whom he has to embrace in films. It is safer than denouncing critics...
...year. What open land remains is often overcrowded. Last week in northern Michigan's Ogemaw County, the deer hunter population was 100 per sq. mi. In the East, it is worth a man's life to venture into the woods. "I don't know which is safer," says one hunter. "Wearing a Day-Glo coat or hanging a pair of antlers on my head."

"Fixed odds is a very risky business," says Hill...
...indirection is necessary is attempting to arrange an accommodation between two mortal enemies. And it is necessary domestically in a country where politicians cannot ignore public opinion. Whatever re-education that development may eventually warrant, will have to be done carefully. With an election approaching, it would have been safer for the President not to extend an invitation to Tito. It would not have been easy, since Tito was determined to visit Latin America and the UN anyway. Nevertheless, adequate precedent for a Presidential snub certainly existed. A proposed visit in 1957 was cancelled outright when protests unnerved Eisenhower...
