...guaranteed annual wage, is one example. In its pragmatic way, the Administration has made some other significant moves. Yet such accomplishments are far outweighed by other acts: the go-slow on desegregation, the attempt to dilute the Voting Rights Act, the Haynsworth and Carswell nominations, the general lack of warmth, concern and responsibility for blacks on the part of the White House. When Presidential Adviser Daniel P. Moynihan counseled "benign neglect" in his now famous memo, his stated intention was only to remove hysteria from both sides of the racial struggle. But the phrase seems to describe the Administration...
...white-run businesses to provide more and better jobs for blacks and to open chain-store shelves to black products. Tall and sensuously attractive, Jackson is the kind of leader who suggests both a dignity of bearing in his brooding dedication to his cause and a sense of brotherly warmth in his casual Levi's, boots and open sport shirts. He possesses what he himself matter-of-factly accepts as charisma, and he inspires devotion among a wide range of followers...
Part of the hippie ethic that evolved during the '60s was a communal warmth, the idea of an open and sharing brotherhood. But sometimes there just isn't enough to share.

There are similarities, to be sure. Color was the mainspring for both artists, and both treated objects as elements in a pattern. But there are also profound differences.

"Milton was a puritanical man of very simple tastes." His uniquely charming celebration of the world around him, with its dry mirth and insistent individuality, is the legacy of an artist who was in every sense strictly...
Filming a familiar tale that appears to be heavily autobiographical, Writer-Director Paul Williams, 25, pays the requisite homage to Truffaut and Welles, not to mention The Graduate and Goodbye, Columbus. The warmth and wit, however, are completely his own. He roots the action firmly in time and place ("Long Island, 1960"), and from the vantage point of a new decade it seems a long and innocent time away. But Williams makes the frustrations of young love agonizingly familiar, the ache of awakening sexuality vivid and true. For pure eroticism, a scene in a beach shower between Paul and Christine...
