...Stimulator. To all this, and to the momentous question marks of the cold war. Bob McNamara has brought a penetrating mind and bottomless vigor. Says he: "I see my position as being that of a leader, not a judge. I'm here to originate, to stimulate new ideas and programs, and not just to adjudicate arguments. You've got to do things differently or else you're not improving them." Up at 6 a.m., and in the office at 7:10 six days a week, he puts in chock-full twelve-hour days, moves fast...

...life, the Nietzschean yeasayer who devours all ex perience, even the experience of a brutal beating, and finds it nourishing. Author Sillitoe has recognized and unforgettably defined a type. Actor Finney, under the keen direction of Karel Reisz, a gifted maker of documentary movies, embodies the type with remarkable vigor and exact ness. Finney's strongest asset as an actor is his presence, an inward weight that holds the center of every scene, as the heaviest fish holds the bottom of a net. But he is also a grandly gifted mimic. His dullard eye and dirgelike stroke...
