DUTCHMAN. A sex-teaser white girl lures and then tongue-lashes a sedate Negro in a subway car until he turns on her with a venomous tirade of racial hate. Playwright LeRoi Jones aims to terrify, and between stations he succeeds...
Sunday in New York is another brightly salacious Hollywood comedy about the way of a man with a maid who just may. "This motion picture," leers an announcement flashed on the screen as a teaser, "is dedicated to the proposition that every girl gets . . . sooner or later."

It is when Huxley is undertaking to describe the spiritual Himalayas of his fictional Utopias that his prose, always as smooth as yak butter, begins to smell like the same spread. To cut some of the butter, Huxley even provides a snake in his paradise, a local fascist princeling who advocates things like fast cars, Progress, Values, Oil and True Spirituality. In the end, he manages to organize a revolution against Pala's benevolent philosopher rulers, and "the work...
