...assessments of the Guide that were cabled from European bureaus. Scott drew the assignment of touring with Fielding himself. At first, the travel expert was reluctant to waive his longstanding rule that no one is allowed to accompany him on his rounds. Finally, he agreed to let Scott watch him in action. "We toured hotels and restaurants in Madrid and London," says Scott, "and he quickly laid to rest any illusion that he coddles himself. He hoofs it everywhere. His curiosity about bedsprings, shower nozzles and kitchen steam tables is insatiable." In between, there was plenty of time for talk...
...programmers and operators. The burgeoning aerospace field needs specialists in aeronomy and the ionosphere, experts in lunar and planetary studies. Even social ills create new careers. All the prodigal wastes of the era demand new experts-in smog and pest control, not to mention sanitation technology. Ecologists maintain a watch on the total environment, noting how change in one area triggers change in others. Ethnologists explore ways of dampening human violence before it becomes hopelessly harnessed to all the lethal weapons available. City planners try to bring some order out of the urban sprawl.

For all that is patently naive and even painful to watch, there are occasional scenes, such as a dinner-table argument and a tense ride with some hobos on a fast freight, that have a kind of tough virtue...
...know what the sheriff's doing back there?" asks a range hand as he watches the lawman dress in drag. "He thinks he's Mary Poppins." In addition to listening to such finely honed dialogue, interested moviegoers can watch Andy Warhol's merry band of junkies, faggots, transvestites and nymphomaniacs disporting themselves in the master's newest effort, Lonesome Cowboys. The idea was a camped-up Romeo and Juliet out West. Unfortunately, things get sort of confused, as they have a way of doing with Andy, and the result is a series of dreary, druggy improvisational...
