During the three hour course of the play, worth-while vignettes are bound to appear. Kate's first meeting with the bashful Marlow, who refuses to look her in the eyes, is skillfully managed. And a later scene between Mrs. Hardcastle and her dimwitted son (John Pym) over a crucial letter is hilarious. Still, one wishes the comedy weren't spread so thin. An occasional home run doesn't always redeem a low batting average...
Kunstler calls himself a "people's lawyer," and in court he plays the part for all it is worth, occasionally risking contempt of court. Defending nine Catholic draft-record burners in Baltimore, Kunstler advised the jury to ignore the judge's charge to them. Protesting the high bail for another Catholic group charged with the same crime in Milwaukee, Kunstler attacked the judge: "I don't think Your Honor will make his career on the bench with heavy bail. It makes the law look ridiculous...

Lippe took the problem to NASA's nearby Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, where tests were made by whirling a bullet fragment through gelatin of approximately the brain's consistency. Researchers decided that the idea was worth...

Eventually, oil will mean far more to the state than gold, of which about $750 million worth has been mined since 1880. Only $760,000 worth will be produced this year, as Alaska continues to run out of the metal that ruined those whom Poet Service called "the crippled and palsied and slain...
Presumably we'll begin to feel a few rows closer to Bergman with each film from now on. He's now appealing less to our intellect, more to our emotion. If this is true, it's especially worth going to the Charles and seeing The Dove. (Negatives, the feature with it, you can forget about--though then the short will be costing you about a dime a minute). The Dove is funny and pretentious. It will show you what's to be seen on the surface of "classic" Bergman: what probably won't be seen there much longer...
