Only four months ago, the antiwar, antimilitary sentiment based in the Senate seemed a formidable challenge to the Administration. Much of the nation was still stunned or suspicious about the U.S.-South Vietnamese invasion of Communist sanctuaries in Cambodia. In that climate, the doves managed to pass the Cooper-Church amendment, banning the use of funds to support similar U.S. operations in Cambodia in the future. But a gentlemanly pro-Administration filibuster delayed passage until U.S. forces had pulled out, making the issue seem academic. Since then, the doves have been beaten on every significant amendment they have offered...
...national settlement, enough thorny local issues remain-29,000 plant-level proposals and disputes involving G.M. alone -to assure a number of local strikes, quite possibly lasting into 1971. Last week the first U.A.W. locals to vote were 90% in favor of authorizing a strike, a fair indicator of sentiment in the shops. The union has not yet announced its strike target, but many of Ford's work ers, who struck for 66 clays in 1967, have let union leaders know that this year they consider it the turn of G.M., which has not had a major national strike...

Taylor, an enormously skillful actor, seems to have a special understanding of parts like this, and Suzy Kendall brings to her role exactly the right look of soiled innocence. The two villains of the piece, freaky faggots named Griff (Robert Phillips) and Terry (William Smith), provide some of the nastiest screen violence so far this year. There's a brawl toward the end of the picture between McGee...
...that life, like a horse, sometimes has to be given its head to work things out for itself. Unfortunately Christopher Fry's characters and incidents are rarely as surprising or as meticulously well-chosen as his metaphors. His wit is bright, his set pieces are ringing, his sentiment is affecting, but his drama, unhappily, is hollow. The glittering language too often seems to be gilt for a nonexistent lily...
...really at a watershed of economic policy now," President Nixon told an impromptu news conference last week. His words signaled a spreading conviction in Washington that the Government has at last cooled the economy enough so that the rate of inflation is being reduced. Now there is much sentiment in the Administration for shifting policy to concentrate on reviving business enough to keep unemployment within reasonable bounds. That feeling is widely shared by private economists and by Government policymakers who testified last week before the congressional Joint Economic Committee. They generally agreed that...
