Hubert warmed up with a long tribute to the President, then hit his stride as he began a rhythmic jabbing and chopping at Barry Goldwater. "Most Democrats and Republicans in the Senate voted for an $11.5 billion tax cut for American citizens and American business," he cried, "but not Senator Goldwater. Most Democrats and Republicans in the Senate-in fact four-fifths of the members of his own party -voted for the Civil Rights Act, but not Senator Goldwater...
Looking like four errant Blue Boys, the lads hit their nimble stride in a script shrewdly slapped together by Scenarist Alun Owen and directed in racy "new cinema" style by Richard Lester. Scorning plot, Night affects to study an ordinary day or so in the wholly extraordinary lives of its heroes.

Occasional Winks. Chase took the boycott in stride-and so have most of the firms that have been banned from the 40 million-customer Arab market. The 40 firms owned by British Tycoon Charles Clore were barred last year when Clore and Sir Isaac Wolfson lent Jerusalem $2,000,000 to build a new town hall, and the U.S.'s Witco Chemical was blacklisted after it bought a chemical firm that had an executive who owned a piece of an Israeli oil company. The Arabs offer reinstatement to firms that stop their dealings with Israel, but the Israelis have...
