...Sex, Politics, Religion. The electronic boy-meets-girl gambit began when self-styled "Master of Informalities" Art Linkletter, 44, read that some 14 million Americans belong to lonely-hearts clubs. Machiavellian M.C. Linkletter, who once put a crocodile in a woman's bathtub, and recently sent a honeymoon couple to Utah to prospect for uranium, called on Dr. Paul Popenoe of Los Angeles' American Institute of Family Relations.

...scene. Clergymen have mixed feelings about it. Some see it as a heartening sign of a religious revival, believe that movies can make the stories and sometimes even the spirit of the Bible come alive for otherwise indifferent millions.

Levin is not content with this explanation. He points out that Friedrich Nietzsche had introduced them to the idea of the superman, "beyond good and evil." A really superior man, they reasoned-in one of those gloomy blunders which snarl up the scribbled notebook of adolescence-could put himself above and beyond society by the successful commission of a pointless crime. They burned...
...Opposite Sex (MGM) is one of Hollywood's weirder experiments with taste-the effect, in this case, roughly resembling a dill pickle smothered with whipped cream...
