...Latin American country had ever seen anything quite like it. Summoned to the presidential villa in the Buenos Aires suburb of Olivos, 161 top officials and military men in President Juan Carlos Onganía's government appeared as ordered and took their seats in the villa's cavernous recreation hall. When everyone had settled down, Ongania walked briskly to a lectern at the front of the room. He fixed his audience with a steely glare...
Alexander Scourby, 54, is a television anomaly - a performer who is often heard, but seldom seen. The rich, resonant bass that frets, in the name of Johnson & Johnson Band-Aids, "It's a dirty world," is Scourby's. The voice that expresses Eastern Air Lines' sentiment, "We want everyone to fly," is his.

Third is "The Myth...
Nothing Heroic. Where others have seen only romance, adventure and folksy humor, Fiedler's hawk eye spots paradox, irony and mordant wit. Hence Pocahontas is "our first celebrated traitor to her own race ... a model long in advance of Uncle Tom." Hannah Duston is not the heroic protector of white womanhood and the family but the great castrating mother of all men-a Mary Worth in linsey-woolsey. The tale of Rip Van Winkle is really about booze as a weapon against women. Only Natty Bumppo and Chingachgook make it through Fiedler's gauntlet without lumps. They constitute...
