GOODBYE, COLUMBUS. When he wrote Goodbye, Columbus, Philip Roth had something more in mind than a story of young love in Jewish suburbia. That, however, is the sum total of this film adaptation, directed by Larry Peerce and nicely acted by Richard Benjamin and a newcomer named Ali MacGraw...
Substantial Difference. In some ways, Clifford's position and the Administration's are similar. The White House is already thinking of pulling out a total of 70,000 men from Viet Nam during 1969, a figure not far behind Clifford's 100,000. Further, Nixon and Clifford agree on at least one justification for the reduction. As the quality of South Vietnamese forces improves, they will be able to assume greater responsibility for conducting the war. Beyond that point, however, Clifford and the Administration differ substantially on several premises and conclusions. In essence, Clifford's arguments...
...made more or less permanent extralegal arrangements. Writer Gabriella Parca, author of a much-discussed book on the predicament (I Separati), estimates that "no fewer than 5,000,000 people [one-tenth of Italy's population] are involved in the drama of indissolubility and suffer its consequences." The total includes those separated, mistresses and illegitimate children...
...mouth. It builds up to epidemic pro portions every five to seven years. The last U.S. epidemic, in 1964, caused 15,000 to 20,000 spontaneous abortions and stillbirths. It left an equal number of children with incurable and for the most part uncorrectable defects, from blindness and total deafness to imbecility. Its ravages in the U.S. alone were more terrible than the worldwide effects of the more highly publicized thalidomide disaster, which left 8,000 chil dren deformed. Epidemiologists feared that the next round, predicted for 1970-71, would be equally savage...
...clearer eye or a more far-ranging mind. Leonardo might stop work on a painting to dissect a cadaver and make meticulous studies of its musculature so that he could better understand the twist of a body or the shape of an arm. He took as his province the total knowledge of mankind (which was then manageable), and painting was only a part of it. Even when he was famed the length and breadth of Italy and crowned heads and prelates were besieging him for paintings, he pronounced himself "out of patience with the brush" and turned for five years...
