...made abroad and could be seen in the U.S. only in art houses. For movies around the world, 1961 was a good year; for Hollywood it was, artistically speaking, a bad year, a slough of sex and spectacles. Yet now and then Hollywood eluded the cash nexus and the sin-drome and produced a good picture...
...documentary uncovering local cops on the take-cast a dark cloud over the annual Boston Police Ball until Richard Cardinal Gushing, 66, dropped around with an evening-saving message. "In my theology," proclaimed Boston's homegrown Roman Catholic archbishop, "gambling in itself is not a sin . . . It's the abuse that makes gambling evil. We all have our faults.

For staying open after hours a saloon owner coughs up $500, can reopen next morning; for soliciting too obviously, a B-girl may be fined $200. While sin is rampant in Hurley, and the town's three churches are fighting a losing battle to save its wild and woolly soul, the community is not totally without law and order. An estimated $22,400 enters municipal coffers from saloon licenses, and Mayor Sam Giovanni is torn between righteousness and revenue...
