...posterity on tape at Los Angeles police headquarters. There was the sound of Sirhan kicking a cup of hot chocolate so that it spattered over a policeman's uniform-and the sounds of scrubbing as paper towels were used to clean up the mess. As the night wore on, Sirhan's voice grew stronger, underlining his return to a state of self-control. He began fencing with his interrogators, even flattering them on occasion with Dale Carnegie-like sincerity. "I appreciate that," he would say, or "I respect you for that." He twitted one man about...
Each film by François Truffaut is a paradigm of innocence. The 400 Blows and Jules and Jim were about the destruction of innocence. Shoot the Piano Player and The Soft Skin described its dangers, and Fahrenheit 451 was its vindication. Even last year's The Bride Wore Black (TIME, July 5), a hard-edged homage to Hitchcock, contained much of the director's characteristic compassion for its driven, doomed characters.

He lugged his own butter to expensive restaurants and carried up to 80 silver dollars for tips...
...actors were the only ones with a past. Their identities were self-perpetuating. The comedians were comic (Marty Ingels wore paper watches in Switzerland because the real things were too expensive) and insecure. (To which of them would Charlie Chaplin grant an audience?) The drunkards stayed drunk, the kind old ladies went to bed early, and the young love interest people pursued love--though not necessarily with the one prescribed by the script. Murray Hamilton (remember The Graduate) gave us sheer good times, singing to us late at night...
