...Magnificent Seven, a western based on Kurosawa's epic tale of the samurai. Assigned to this prickly task are Star Paul Newman, Director Martin Ritt and Photographer James Wong Howe, all covered with pay dirt from their triumphant collaboration in Hud. The result this time is a slick, shallow olio of rape, murder and violence...
...BRETT WHITELEY, 25, is a Sydney publisher's son and rambunctiously Australian, the kind who ties his own kangaroo down. He was enraptured by Piero della Francesca while on a scholarship in Italy in 1960, and has insisted ever since that paintings should have shallow, stagelike space, like Piero's.

"The babies are born happier when they're delivered the Lamaze way," insists Sister Mary Charitas, a small, peppery nun who also teaches nursing at St. Louis University School of Nursing and Health Services. "They're easier to take care of, they're more alert-probably because the mother has not had medication that would make them sleepy...
