There has been hardly any Goldwater pronouncement the last month that seemed to be calculated to win to his cause any sizable new segment of voters. Everybody remembers how he went out of his way to alienate audiences, attacking TVA in Tennessee, medicare in front of Florida pensioners, and the President's anti-poverty campaign in the depressed, eleven-state Appalachian region. Now, as his prospects of election became dimmer and dim mer, he sounded wilder and wilder in his charges against the Johnson Administration...
...World War I series, CBS is presenting a well-researched documentary that uses only stills and motion footage from archives. Its first segment moved swiftly, panoptically, and about as informatively as was possible in 30 minutes devoted to nothing less than all the causes and early events of the conflict. The pictures of Gallipoli and the Lusitania, young Göring and old Hindenburg were absorbing enough, but the best moments came in unexpected footnotes, such as Sigmund Freud's declaring: "All my libido is given to Austria-Hungary...

Borrowing perhaps from Hamlet, this segment has a TV-show-within-a-TV-show, featuring a rare acting appearance by E.S.,W.S.'s Executive Producer David Susskind, who is typecast as a TV panel moderator. It apparently failed, however, to catch the conscience of King David-he and CBS have since abandoned the entire series. Repeat...
...Hard Day's Night will move one young segment of its audience to tears, hysteria and even outright unconsciousness. More than a movie, it is the answer to a maiden's prayer. Surprisingly, though, this hairy musical romp starring John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr-yclept the Beatles-is one of the smoothest, freshest, funniest films ever made solely for purposes of exploitation. It seems better than it ought to be simply because the Beatles prove themselves disarming personalities...
