...fact that Charles Whitman [Aug. 12] was psychotic and is now dead is unimportant to the unaccountable, unbalanced, whacked-up bunch of people who will strive to perpetrate any crime for the sake of the publicity, as you well know. How can you elevate such a person to that extent? Charles Whitman may be "news"-but isn't there someone in this country who deserved enough commendation last week to have appeared on your cover? You could always resort to a picture of Niagara Falls...
...three times more than originally expected. To get anywhere near the requirements of each service, the Pentagon has had to turn its dual-service project into something akin to two distinct planes-and the Air Force and Navy are grumbling loudly that each version has been compromised for the sake of a hybrid that fully meets the needs of neither service.

Too much emphasis is being put on reporting events while too little is being dedicated to the analysis of foreign policy...
Widow and widower fall in love, in a way, although flashback memories of the dead stunt man keep popping up when Anouk and Jean-Louis go to bed for the first time. Will she forget her old love for the sake of the new? Trying to answer the question, Director Claude Lelouch, 28, composes some stylish scenes and tosses in enough cinematic tricks borrowed from older New Wave directors-abrupt switches from black-and-white to color, for example-to have won this year's Cannes Festival Grand Prix. But his does-she-or-doesn't-she story...
