...Pistols. After being She in MGM's 106-minute movie that seems like 2,000 years, Dr. No's bikini girl, Ursula Andress, is back in happy Bond-land. But now she has qualified for her own license to kill in a wacky movie called The Tenth Victim. It opens in a weird, cubistic New York nightclub, where Ursula is bumping, grinding and stripping down to her glittering silver and green bikini. A Chinese brandishing a .45 automatic rushes at her, but Ursula is the fastest bra in town. Bang-bang, she has fired her twin pistols, whose...
...think Government payments have something in common with the narcotics habit," he said. "Once on the habit, the victim becomes convinced he cannot live without the drug. In the jargon of the underworld, he's hooked. He'll do most anything to get his next fix, his next check.

Optimistic claims have also been made for the administration of a synthetic hormone, similar to testosterone, to speed up the C.F. victim's metabolism. But some doctors complain that improvement after the treatment is mainly superficial and usually shortlived. There is the disadvantage that after a brief growth spurt, a child may be permanently stunted because the hormone shuts down the epiphyses (growth ends) of long bones. Beyond such controversy, the most encouraging news about C.F. is that the combined effect of all the treatments...
Which is to say that the subtitle of Mr. Lasch's book, "The Intellectual as a Social Type," has mercifully little to do with the contents. Given a subject so frequently the victim of over-generalization. The New Radicalism in America is commendably wary of the old cliches, and if it were not for annoyingly frequent allusions to The New Radical, I would be tempted to read it as a series of thoughtful, charming, and often brilliant intellectual portraits of those who have found American society just too much to take at face value...
