...Huston wisely spends most of the time presenting Miss Taylor in unbuttoned blouses, but a full-length nude shot of her (or her stand-in) climbing a stair simply fails to justify the spying enlisted man's sudden fixation for her.

Votes got pretty thin around 50, let alone for number 300, so R-KO experts Arnie Ginsberg, (yes, the Wood lives!), J. J. Jeffreys, and Mel Phillips beefed up the list.

"Look," he said, "all we were trying to do was groove together." Another was trying to get the telephone number of the Manhattan Diggers. He would set up a Digger Fund. He would collect $20,000. But, at the moment, he said, he couldn't lay hands on a hundred...
