...project, a tract development or deep in the piney woods, these Americans are, for the most part, culturally disfranchised. They were raised on the old American popular culture, on the myth of the individual who is the master of his own fate, truckles to no man or institution, and whose possibilities are as limitless as a Great Plains horizon. Now, however, employers, unions, governments regulate their lives. Mortgage obligations and even rising Social Security deductions hem them in. The open road, down which escape always seems possible, has become a featureless eight-lane interstate, with a Smokey Bear lurking...
...response to this situation was about what you would expect of a man whose screen character personifies rugged individualism in our time. He simply went out and formed his own company, which has taken over sole control of Eastwood's work; he rents himself out to no man or studio. "My theory was that I could foul my career up just as well as somebody else, so why not try it?" The Malpaso Co. is named after a creek that runs through the Eastwood property on the Monterey peninsula. The outfit operates with a minuscule staff from a bungalow...
Once again the Eastwood and Reynolds stories begin to coincide. They handle the problem of being a star in different styles.

Each listing drew from 100 to as high as 500 application letters and resumes. Those whose letters failed to win them advance appointments for interviews at the convention must now press for one, while the happy few who succeeded line up impatiently to learn where their interviews will take place. Candidates' names have to be verified against a master sheet before the room number...
...Touch of the Poet, as elsewhere, O'Neill dramatizes, in the agitated course of a single day, the downward course of a lifetime. He tells of a man whose life would crumble except for his dreams and whose dreams themselves fall apart at last. And, as so often in O'Neill, Poet has centripetal force and centrifugal wastefulness, giant strength and giant sprawl, sure theatrical instincts and shaky dramatic structure. The present revival at Broadway's Helen Hayes Theater is like a tidal wave that seems to purge almost every defect of the play...
