Bunuel leads us along the borderline of bourgeois satire, in a vein as old as Moliere; but only briefly. Sadist Josef is an anti-Semite, and his violent Fascist explosions shatter the relatively calm surface of the satire. A visit from the cure begins as a mild lampoon of the clergy, but breaks all bounds when Madame seeks a little sex-education...
...most silent improvement in this spring's show, produced by Radcliffe Grant-in-Aid, is the substitution of the Jazz Dance Quartet for recorded music. The quartet occasionally slides into a commercial vein, but most of the time it plays good jazz and adds a lot to the show (especially in contrast to the corny folk music that accompanied the first set of dances).

Whatever their leaders may say in a political vein about the U.S. stand in Viet Nam, the non-Communist countries of Asia are catching a beneficial economic fallout from American involvement in the fighting there.

Last December, when Merrick flew off the handle and fired Director Tony Page for not making cuts in Inadmissible Evidence, Actor Nicol Williamson threw a glass of beer...
...nonobstreperous relief, the President conferred at week's end with a bipartisan delegation of 38 state Governors. In exuberant vein, Johnson hymned his concept of "creative federalism," pointing out, not exactly in passing, that his Administration is giving ever-heftier federal aid to the states. The session ended with a unanimous resolution by the Governors attesting that they "wholeheartedly support and endorse" U.S. policy in Viet Nam. The resolution was proposed by Ohio's Republican Governor James Rhodes and seconded by New York's Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller...
