...easy enough to share this rural point of view, to refuse to struggle toward the smoother-faced people the movie views so coldly. Why, you ask, can't they be different from what they are? But the fact is that they aren't different, and much of this movie's rage seems wasted. In the end, you can take The Savage Eye's values, or you can leave them.

...market a line of proprietary drugs (Thorexin, cough syrup and cough tablets) in 1957-and continued bringing out a stream of toilet accessories (latest: an aerosol deodorant) to boost Gillette sales.

Wisconsin. One of the disappointed hopefuls in the vice-presidential bingo game at the Democratic Convention, Governor Gaylord Anton Nelson, 44, may still look forward to a political future beyond the shores of Lake Michigan. A smooth public speaker (and a smoother raconteur in informal moments), the darling of organized labor and an unabashed liberal, he brought a program of sweeping social reforms and a crew-cut crew of intellectuals to Madison in 1958, will give Wisconsin a second chorus of the same music in his second term...
