...indifference of her aristocratic employees, and of the romantic trials of the cook's son (a would-be priest). The thick plot involves murder, rape, abortion, white slavery, and class struggle. And yet the author-actor, by continually breaking and repeating scenes and by imposing comic relief, sub-ordinates the plot to his own creative concerns. At the end, the murderer is discovered by coincidence, and the plot is settled...

Moynihan worked in the Kennedy campaign of 1960, and J.F.K. rewarded him by making him, at 34, the youngest sub-Cabinet member in Washington. He stayed through two Secretaries of Labor and even into the Johnson Administration. Shortly after the President's Howard University speech, Moynihan went back to New York to run for the city council presidency. Bobby Kennedy had some part in persuading him to make the run, though the two have never been close friends; Moynihan feels he should be as critical of Kennedy as he can be within the framework of their similar ideo logical...

...reclassify the mile as a dash instead of a run. In the 13 years since Britain's Roger Bannister opened the floodgates by running a 3-min. 59.4-sec. mile, no fewer than 84 athletes have cracked the mythical 4-min. "barrier"-running a total of 278 sub-4-min. miles. Tops among them, of course, is Jim Ryun, the University of Kansas junior who at 20 is already the fastest middle-distance runner of all time. Last month in Bakersfield, Calif., Ryun lowered his own world record for the mile to 3 min. 51.1 sec. Two weeks...

Obviously somebody is going to break 3 min. 50 sec. for the mile-probably Ryun and possibly this season. Track Coach Bill Bowerman, who has turned out nine sub-4-min. milers at the University of Oregon, predicts that Ryun may lower the record all the way to 3 min. 45 sec. before he is through. But hardly anybody thinks that will give Jim any permanent place in the record book. Advances in nutrition, training methods, equipment, medicine and psychology undoubtedly will produce even faster runners than Ryun. The man who started it all, Roger Bannister...
