...have the guts to fight for yourself-God loves brave souls." Also among the survivors are a beefy cop (Ernest Borgnine) and his new wife, a reformed whore (Stella Stevens); a teen-age girl (Pamela Sue Martin) and her obnoxious little brother (Eric Shea); an aging Jewish couple (Shelley Winters and Jack Albertson) en route to the holy land; a timid haberdasher (Red Buttons); a willowy rock singer (Carol Lynley); and a plucky waiter (Roddy McDowall). With God as his copilot, and with a good deal of muscle, Hackman leads them ever upward, through sets that look as tortuous...
...which abounds in inane dialogue, is particularly vicious to women, who are portrayed as woefully helpless, weepy creatures who would surely perish without men to pull them through.

Dr. Maynard Shelley found that meditators seemed less nervous or depressed and more creative and expensive. In a study conducted at the University of California-Los Angeles last December. Dr. H. George Blasdell found that meditators performed faster and more accurately in perceptual motor tests...
...Wear It Well" is the sequel to "Maggie May." It emphasizes above all Stewart's commonness, the same attitude that brought "I can't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats cause it's all been said before," on "Every Picture Tells a Story." Part of the man's appeal is the intensity of his emotion, and its closeness to each of us, but its most striking feature is its very lack of the quaint idealism that pervaded earlier love songs. (Like "Chapel of Love," or "To Know Him Is To Love Him," or anything else that Spector did before...
