Silent Fuming. Martin said much more - notably, that there are major differences as well as similarities be tween the economies of 1929 and 1965 - but the rest was all but ignored in the furor that followed. The stock mar ket, uncertain and sliding for several weeks, plunged sharply: the Dow Jones industrial average fell 19 points in the three days after Martin's speech, dipped briefly below the psychologically im portant 900 mark, then closed the week at 900.87. Congressional leaders called for an investigation of the state of free-world economies. Lyndon Johnson at first fumed silently...
Wise Woman falls somewhere be tween opera and Broadway musical. Adapted from a fairy tale, it is Grimm for grownups, a Rabelaisian romp peopled with a thieving mule driver, an irascible king, a too-wise queen, and a trio of drunken tramps who keep the action crackling along at a raucous, laugh-a-minute pace.

From increasing African and Asian support for Red Chinese policies on one side to Portuguese atrocities in Angola on the other, he said, "the distance be- tween rich and poor, black and white is getting greater, not smaller...
...presidential campaign has been one of the most disappointing ever. It was going to be a confrontation between opposing philosophies; it turned out to be a wrestling match be tween volatile personalities. It was go ing to prove the vital difference be tween two strong political parties; it has merely shown that one, the G.O.P., is in need of great repair.
