...Like the rest of us, your expectations had been lowered, we were told, and your threshold of outrage raised" Kennedy said. "After Carswell, any candidate who was not a racist looked good: after Cambodia, the Laos 'incursion' hardly excited anyone; next to John Mitchell, John Connally looked like a saint...
...PERSUADERS (ABC). "I'm Brett to my friends, but you may call me darling." Lady Brett Ashley speaking? No, Lord Brett Sinclair (Roger Moore, TV's engaging former Saint), who is the Oxbridge playboy half of The Persuaders. His co-persuader is Danny Wilde, a new-rich high roller from The Bronx (Tony Curtis), and the two of them womanize and swashbuckle around the Cote d'Azur "in the name of justice."

Critics tend to be unpopular at best. The public often disagrees with them; their victims resent them. And some-times the victims fight back.

...Henry Gibson, the diminutive, shaky-voiced poet, late of TV's Laugh-In, has become a full-fledged eco-centric.

As the music soared, Henry versed about news-wise kangaroos, pacifist elephants, and hens and roosters who have been brutalized by technology...
...Enough of the old Miller was still alive, however, for him to reject a monastic existence and declare for life, a risk that had to be played out somewhere between Stuart the rogue and Stuart the saint. And that is precisely the equivocal condition of Hot Springs itself. Miller's finely paced narrative of ego death and transfiguration freely mixes elements and intentions. Ironic self-awareness vies with variations on the old-fashioned confessional and conversion tale. Frank disclosures are offset by pretentious allusions to existential phenomenology that could have come straight out of Sartre's Nausea...
