...script," allowed House Republican Leader Gerald Ford, "is a good one from our standpoint." Indeed, the plot that he laid out was compelling, if not exactly original. It called for G.O.P. Representatives and their Southern Democratic allies to deny Lyndon Johnson his request for an unpopular tax increase, beat every tom-tom and kettledrum for economy, and force the President to take responsibility for specific spending cuts. The House last week voted 238 to 164 to do just that...
...college coach whose team has to play Texas, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Washington and U.C.L.A. in one season had better have a sense of humor. Southern California's John McKay, 44, is quick with a quip. Ask McKay whether he thinks emotion is important in football, and he says: "My wife is emotional, but she's a very poor football player." Compliment John on the fact that his Trojans are the No. 1-ranked team in the U.S., and he shrugs...
...Most. That description fits a San Francisco dockworker's son named O. (for Orenthal) J. (for James) Simpson, 20, whose rookie year on the Southern Cal varsity may turn out to be the most spectacular season any major-college running back ever had. In his first six games, Halfback Simpson has carried the ball 180 times for 987 yds., is well within reach of the alltime season records for most carries (296) and most yards gained (1,570). O.J. also catches passes-eight so far, for 114 yards-and even throws them occasionally: in five attempts he has three...
...that Simpson is the only horse in the Trojan camp. He may be the fastest-last June, O.J. ran the third leg on Southern Cal's sprint relay team that set a world record of 38.6 sec. for 440 yds. But Flanker Jim Lawrence runs the 100 in 9.6 sec. End Earl McCullouch is a co-holder of the world rec ord (13.2 sec.) for the 110-meter-high hurdles. And Fullback Mike Hull, at 230 Ibs. the heavyweight of the U.S.C. backfield, has been clocked at 5.6 sec. for 50 yds. in full football gear...
...Reflections, Author McCullers admitted, "I had no idea who was going to shoot whom." But where the book's suspense was killing, the movie's is merely deadening. Long before its violent conclusion, the audience has ceased to care about the hung-up characters. As a cracked Southern belle, Julie Harris is the only member of the cast who reflects the distinctive McCullers quality of loneliness and terror. The others are merely mannerists. All that remains praiseworthy is the film's extraordinary photographic technique. Seemingly shot in black and white, the picture is actually severely muted Technicolor...
