...spongelike walls of Harold Paris' Pantomina llluma, a "feelies" room containing $10,000 worth of molded, twisted and flat rubber and polyurethane, tensor lights and stainless steel. Grandmothers cheerfully took off their shoes to clamber around in Lucas Samaras' glittering, mirror-encrusted Alice-in-Wonderland rabbit warren, Corridor, 1967. Hippies gazed dreamily through the barred door of Edward Kienholz's The State Hospital into a Lysol-scented interior where lay the pathetic form of a lunatic...
...never read Casino Royale (which may not be such a horrible oversight) it is immediately clear that the movie borrows only a little and, I suppose, an audience from the book. The script, which appears to have been written by a select society on the order of the Warren Commission, is also about as funny as the Warren Report, and as likely to be the spy movie to end all spy movies as the Warren Commission's product is to be the final word on the Kennedy assassination...
Muckraking Ramparts magazine has uncovered dark plots all over the place -in Dallas, in the CIA, in Michigan State University. Last week it discovered a plot in still another place-Ramparts magazine.

He suggested sending an undercover man to Louisiana's Plaquemines Parish to poke around a rumored "slave camp" for civil rights workers. Not only that, charged a Ramparts man, he even wanted to equip the gumshoe with a hollow heel containing a compass-so that he could find his way back again...
...American poet Robert Lowell in Near the Ocean. This little book seems to me the outstanding production in what as Frank Sinatra recently said, "was a very good year"--for American poetry as well as for small-town girls. I think particular of the impressive collection of Robert Penn Warren, carrying us from 1923 to 1966 (Selected Poems)and the delicate one of Marianne Moore (Tell Me. Tell Me). To return to Lowell: not only does he give us new proof of his skill and originality in the form which he described in previous volume as imitation (not translation), this...
