Double Slap. The triumphant flight of Zond 5 and the test of its voice-communications system left little doubt that the Russians are racing to send a manned flight around the moon ahead of the U.S. which now plans to fly three astronauts on a lunar mission in December. The number of Russian space launchings announced this year-36 to only 18 for the U.S.-adds weight to the theory that the Soviets are working overtime on their space program...
...novel, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter was half poetry, and like most poetry, it suffers in translation.

In his scenario for the film, Osborne has speeded the tempo by slimming the monologues; Director Anthony Page has gained added power by close-ups that pore over a human face desolate in its frustrations. As on the London and New York stage, the demanding role of Maitland is enacted by Nicol Williamson, a player of explosive passion. Williamson does not merely perform; he lays his life on the line...
