...THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIES (CBS, 9-11:30 p.m.).*William Holden and Lilli Palmer in The Counterfeit Traitor (1962), based on the real-life exploits of Eric Erickson, an American-born Swede who sympathized with the Germans but spied for the Allied High Command in World...
Night Games is ostensibly the case history of a mother complex. The man who has it (Keve Hjelm), a wealthy young Swede, revisits the house he grew up in and invites a moral conflict between the memory of his profligate mother (Ingrid Thulin) and the love of his innocent fiancee (Lena Brundin). In a series of what might be called flesh-backs, the man-as-boy (Jorgen Lindstrom) wanders in memory through a child's garden of sexual reverses. Among the obscene scenes: his mother summoning a crowd of drunken guests into her bedroom and letting them watch while...
...persists. According to a theory first propounded by Sociologist Ruby Jo Reeves Kennedy, the U.S. is really a "triple melting pot," with the true cohesion growing within religious groups.

In manufacturing, it takes 2.52 Britons to equal the output of one Canadian, 1.89 to equal a Swede's. Yet hourly earnings in British industry grew by 33% in 1960-65-plus another 7% in manufacturing during the first three months of 1966. "More people in Britain pushed up their earnings more steeply for less work than any time since 1960," said the Economist. "Nothing exceeds like...
