...dancer, never holding an image for more than a few seconds, popping around incessantly in search of new perspectives. Director Bob Fosse seems to want every possible angle on a scene; even when he holds a shot, a huge mirror in the background offers a second view. The visual style of the movie is nothing less than epic, but it's at war throughout with the relentlessly limited perspective of the heavy-handed script, with the characters who remain flat from any angle...
Judging from examination of its eye sockets, Aegyptopithecus, unlike some of its rivals, was a diurnal creature, one that was active mostly in daylight. This implies that Aegyptopithecus lived in groups, rather than by itself as do many nocturnal animals. It also means that there was probably extensive visual and vocal communication between the member animals. Such socialization would have put stresses on them, requiring them to be more assertive, courageous and competitive than if they had lived by themselves-which in turn could have fostered brain growth. Indeed, says Kay, Aegyptopithecus' cranial capacity of about...
...finest actresses on the English-speaking stage. And as Buxton reaches the heartbreaking conclusion that the one life she has to give for Hellas is the noblest life to have lived, she radiates a great and unforgettable purity of spirit.

...situations that cannot be considered "subtle." The fables are hard-driving. One declares that "nothing cripples innovation and enterprise like heavy-handed regulation." Another describes an ideal society of animals, played by Lar Lubovitch dancers in sparkling and outlandish costumes. The storyteller for the three-minute dance-and-cartoon visual presentation tells of an elephant who "moves huge boulders and lifts great trees" to find watering holes for its fellow animals. The animals banish the elephant, accusing it of drinking more than its share of water, not realizing that it needs the water for its great tasks and size...
...organizers of Urbana under the direction of John W. Alexander, Ph.D. president of IVCF, do not disguise the rigors of the conference or the life of the missionary in their glossy publications and audio-visual presentations. They do, however, add a political bite to many of their messages. A slide show that followed Lum's speech at the Lutheran church last Friday included the ususal scenes of sweaty but cheerful youths working with the underpriviledged. The show then identified "revolutionary Marxism," Islam and Eastern "cults" as the enemies of the church's evangelistic efforts. Pamphlets and paperback books which further...
