...transpired, that Sirhan objected to the prosecution's having read from his notebook diaries the passages recounting his resolve to kill Kennedy, an essential element of the prosecution's contention that he acted with premeditated malice. Sirhan would actually have preferred to die rather than subject his family to what he deemed the public shame of an airing of his sexual fantasies-scrawled comments about girls he scarcely knew. This, and a revelation of his low IQ violated his sense of ruj#363;liyah. "We may be mad as hell at each other," Sirhan's younger brother...
...Crime has replaced the war as topic A in Washington," says Political Columnist Mary McGrory. For Miss McGrory, the change of subject was not hard to make, since her parkside apartment in Northwest Washington has been burglarized four times. Another indignant burglary victim recently was Colorado's Senator Peter Dominick, whose son's gold watch was pilfered from Dominick's inner office. Last week Nixon's personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, returned from the presidential tour of Europe to find that her one-bedroom apartment in the elegant Watergate complex had been ransacked by thieves. Missing...
Impounded last year by the U.S. Customs Service, I Am Curious (Yellow) has since been the subject both of bitter legal wrangles and a lot of gossip. Reports circulated that Yellow* contained some of the most detailed sex scenes ever spliced into an overground film.

Lena (Lena Nyman) is at once Yellow's nominal subject and central symbol. An ardent political activist, she carries radical, rabble-rousing signs and participates in all sorts of public demonstrations, including coupling with her boy friend Börje (Börje Ahlstedt) on a balustrade in front of Stockholm's Royal Palace. When Lena runs off to the countryside, Börje follows and turns her meditation into a Portnoyesque scene that is certain to get the film banned west of the Hudson and north of The Bronx...
Demy does in fact use the back streets and alleys of Los Angeles to maximum tacky effect. His characters, however, have far less meaning than the "Eats" and "Service" signs. Although many of the same people recur in each of his films -Lola, for example, was both the subject and the title of his first feature-they have about as much depth as wallpaper. Indeed, Demy uses his characters like wallpaper, merely as human interior decoration. Anouk Aimee is lovely and gracious as Lola, but her seductive simplicity is too hard-edged for Demy's blurry art nouveau. Dressed...
