...WILD, RUN FREE. Parents who think that most matinee movies more often seem to be made by children than for them will be pleasantly surprised by this subtle, low-keyed allegory of childhood's end about an autistic English boy (Mark Lester) and an almost magical white colt...
...mean to reproach you, or even to give you the impression that I think you'd care if I did. But I do believe that the writer of the story on Vidal and me turned in a remarkable performance. "When they fence on television or in type, bitchiness erodes their polish and learned discourse dissolves into tantrums."

Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Nixon's urban affairs adviser, believes that possibly the high point of violence has already been reached. "I would think we have passed that," he said last week.

They share the same headquarters office in the grimy industrial town of Lille-and the same black car. When the eldest brother, Bernard, took over his family's M. J. Willot Co. in Lille in 1954, it employed 200 people who produced a $3,000,000-a-year volume of bandages and baby diapers. Bernard was soon able to squeeze out 20% profits on those sales, and he used the added income to expand...
