Thus McNamara's effusive praise was taped for TV plugs in the Kennedy campaign-and McNamara landed in the midst of a Pentagon-sized controversy. It was a curious gaffe on both sides. McNamara will not find it any easier now to pry money from the U.S. Congress, which provides 27% of the bank's funds. Kennedy will scarcely gain. He has always dissociated himself from the Johnson Administration and the Viet Nam war. Yet no official, save Dean Rusk, has been more closely associated with both than Robert S. McNamara...
Engulfed by Bluegrass. With the encroachments of records, radio and TV, the oldtime music is inevitably giving way to "modern," or "bluegrass"-a slicker, more heterogeneous style influenced by big-city commercial pros.

The next trend for Kubrick? All he will give away is that it will be "a mind boggler...
...title which has been pretentious for several years now Hart, who oddly enough directs and stars as well, casts vet another glance at that eternally popular topic: who is insane, society or the non-conformist? Society, typified by Bruce (Hart), wears a tuxedo, goes to college, talks in TV commercial slogans. Bruce's friends are Harry (Nathan Taylor), who likes to screw girls, and Erica (Barbara Lanckton), who goes to bed with Harry and later slits her wrists when the world becomes incomprehensible. Intruding among them is Harry Sternberg (Jerry Winters), who is married, worth $15 million, and presumably Jewish...
