...bill, in short, outlines a war plan that ought to warm the cockles of any social worker's heart. But mighty crusades have an unhappy way of getting mired in the implementation. Cabinet officers who would be responsible for various aspects of the program insisted last week that the whole scattershot package could be properly administered without creating any wasteful new bureaucracy. Each was satisfied with the role assigned to his department, none resented the vast powers that would be handed to "Poverty Czar" Shriver. If the Administration can ever convince the Congress of that, the poverty war itself...
...humor was still intact: "I could tell you that I have succumbed to the urging of many friends," he said, "but the truth is that this candidacy is a genuine draft-a draft inspired by the candidate himself." Answering serious questions, he insisted: "I've had a very warm relationship with President Johnson. There was absolutely no dissent with anything at the White House."

But today more and more families who measure their estates in feet rather than acres are buying prefab greenhouses for the cost of a secondhand car or less, and filling the house with chrysanthemums, African violets or glossy greenery while the snow flies...
...almost justifies redoing the film. But Producer-Director Karel Reisz errs in trying to update the melodrama with an overdose of back-to-the-womb psychology. The motherless Finney washes away dark deeds by splashing in a pond or immersing himself right up to the nostrils in a nice warm tub. In one embarrassingly childish sequence, he regresses almost to the toddler stage. The camera pays more attention to Finney's tortured mental processes than to the all-important hatbox. The new Night trades a real case of creeps for mere case history...
