...LOVES OF ISADORA. Vanessa Redgrave performs magnificently as Isadora Duncan, that quintessential free spirit of the early 20th century. Director Karel Reisz starts at the end of Isadora's life and works backward and sideways to achieve dramatic contrast, but the script lacks a unifying point of view...
...Supreme Court is generally thought of as a serene haven. For Abe Fortas, that view has been obscured by some ominous clouds. When Lyndon Johnson nominated his old friend and adviser to the high court in 1965, witnesses turned the Senate confirmation hearing into a denunciation of Fortas.

Is the space program an extravagance when...

That, however, is a typical Yalie line after an unexpected loss, and all losses at Yale are unexpected from the Elis' point of view. They said the same type of thing after last fall's Harvard-Yale football game...
