...about angry young men on the way to nowhere. The much celebrated ROOM at the Top has all the punch of John Braine's novel, thanks to the acting of Simone Signoret and Lawrence Harvey. Saturday Night and Sunday Morning is, if anything better. It has the advantage of superb screenplay by young Alan Sillitoe ("The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner") and near perfect execution of the lead by Albert Finney, an actor hailed by some as the next Olivier. See them both...
WHEN David Riesman quit medicine for the law, a superb clinician moved to a rather alien field. It is this image of Riesman that remains after all the criticisms of this book--a man who is, for all the lapses in reasoning and method this volume suggest, astonishingly perceptive of the disquiet that troubles American intellectuals. Perhaps Riesman will be of more interest to intellectual historians than sociologists of the future, but to either group he has an immediate message about his world that must not be obscured by the real but almost irrelevant lapses in his methods and definitions
...noseguards in the second grade. Texas supports four bowl games (Cotton, Bluebonnet, Sun, Prairie View), three professional franchises, 30 college teams-and many of the nation's football bookmakers. The eight teams in the Southwest Conference* have produced some 65 All-Americas, are the breeding grounds for such superb professionals as Yale Lary, Kyle Rote, John David Crow and Bobby Layne.

Perhaps the biggest reason is the fratricidal nature of the bruising Southwest Conference, in which each team must play all the others each season-a harrowing schedule...
...Beat the Press.' I have resumed nuclear testing." But throwing only a jab or two at the domestic enemy ("Some reporters write with crayons"), he settled down quickly to a chatty description of the foreign enemy in Moscow. Astonishingly enough, Paar as a reporter proved to be absolutely superb, from his description of the eerie silence of Russian crowds to his sketch of the ambitious personality of his Intourist guide. In one felicitous phrase, he marveled at the lack of a cultural and technological middle ground between "the outhouse and outer space"; in a fine vignette, he explained...
...Brooklyn exhibition shows, U.S. artists could be both superb and silly. In 1874, Henry Gray did a classical female figure swathed in great swirls of red, white and blue bunting, which he called Birth of the Flag. Only three years later, William Morris Hunt turned out his Bathers, a simple, naturalistic scene showing a young boy poised to dive off the shoulders of another. George Fuller of Deerfield, Mass. painted a pale Arethusa that might have been a model for the white-robed girl in the old White Rock ads. Yet Fuller's younger contemporary, Louis Eilshemius...
