...sequiturs, or the reigning catch phrase of the moment, such as "irky perky!" and "Sock it to me!" Sammy Davis Jr., who last season turned his here-come-de-Judge antics into a rollicking miniballet, now reports that when he strolls through a Negro neighborhood, all the kids trail after him squealing the phrase in chorus. It would be only moderately surprising if next week J. Edgar Hoover popped onto the screen and said, "Here come de Judge...
Police Powers. Though the docket does not promise many trail-blazing cases this year, the Justices may begin laying down some guidelines to protect the rights of the poor. In one case, a North Carolina woman claims that her eviction from a public housing project was illegal. Also being challenged are welfare laws in two states and Washington, D.C., that require a person to be a resident for a full year before he can be eligible for payments.

Not long ago, an American pilot sighted an elephant carrying rockets. His strafing run killed the animal and set off a series of secondary explosions. There was a slight dilemma on his return to base: should he put the event down as an enemy killed in action or as an enemy vehicle destroyed...
...blatant props, the intricate plot, these are no more than smash door-prizes to draw us into the moments of the movie. I suggest that Tim Hunter does not really care about telling a story. If he puzzles us with the mystery trail, it is only to involve us in seeing. (Problem, of course: some will lose the present moments in anticipation of the future moments. That is how most of us live our lives. That is how some will watch this movie. Tell us a story, please. Lead us to the end. Perhaps my purpose here is to insist...
