...than beautiful visions," says a tanned, clear-eyed hippie girl named Joan. That hippies can actually work becomes evident on a tour of the commune's vegetable gardens. Cabbages and turnips, lettuce and onions march in glossy green rows, neatly mulched with redwood sawdust. Hippie girls lounge in the buffalo grass, sewing colorful dresses or studying Navajo sand painting, clad in nothing but beads, bells and feather headdresses. (Not everyone is a nudist-only when they feel like it.) A shaggy sheepdog named Grass plays with the hippie children, among them a straw-thatched 17-month-old boy named...
...women suffer from an unflatter ing family resemblance. Most of the blame, however, must fall on De Sica, who has wasted such talented actors as Arkin, Sellers, Michael Caine, Philippe Noiret and Vittorio Gassman in a ponderously directed, flaccid work. Better than anyone else, he should know that a tour de farce is like a striptease: there is no point in the performance if the material does not come off in style...
Inevitably, his profligacy drained his spirit. When he left for his last American tour, sick and penniless, he perhaps knew that the end was near. In one of his last letters to Princess Caetani, a sometime patron, he wrote: "It is not enough to presume that once again I shall weave up pardoned, and waddle and gush along the land on my webbed sealegs as musical and wan and smug as an orpheus of the storm: no, I must first defeat any hope I might have of forgiveness by resubmerging the little arisen original monster in a porridge boiling...
...more remarkable. As an amateur, California's Dennis ("The Menace") Ralston, 24, was noted mainly for his flaming temper and his inexplicably bad play in crucial matches. More mature and confident now, Ralston, according to Rosewall, "has the potential to be one of the top players on the tour"-and so far he already is: with $27,230, he ranks No. 2 in money winnings, and he has beaten Laver six times in 16 matches. The other hot rookie is Australia's Fred Stolle, 28, winner of the 1966 U.S. amateur championship, who last week shocked Laver...
...grand slam of amateur tennis' four top tournaments-the Australian, French, Wimbledon and U.S. championships. Laver turned pro in 1963 and learned quickly how much tougher it was to play for pay: he lost 19 out of his first 21 pro matches. Last year Laver was the tour's No. 1 moneywinner (with $45,000), and two weeks ago, in the finals of Manhattan's $25,000 Madison Square Garden Invitation Tennis Tournament, he polished off Fellow Aussie Ken Rosewall, 6-4, 6-4, to boost his 1967 winnings...
