...film, praise be to Paddy, bitter before it turns sweet. The cowardly hero (James Garner) is a fat cat who finds that military life in London in the days before D-day is just his bowl of cream. While millions of Britons quenu up for rations, the hero inhabits an Eden teeming with rivers of bourbon,sierras of sirloin and herds of gorgous girls who will do almost anything for a Hershey bar. Happily, there is a serpent in this paradise: an admiral (Melvyn Douglas) more concerned about congressional hearings ("They're tryin' to scrap the Navy!") than...
...break came recently with the discovery that small silicon diodes, working much like the cat's-whisker crystals of early radio sets, can pick microwave energy out of the air and turn it into direct current with reasonable efficiency. Thousands of diodes, strung like glass beads on a network of wires, are needed to intercept Raytheon's beam. In the model helicopter demonstrated last week, they feed direct current at about 100 volts to a small motor taken from an electric drill. The beam of 2,450-megacycle microwaves starts out with three kilowatts of power; the diode...
...Elliott, who once said, "I don't want those pinks, radicals and black voters to outvote those who are trying to preserve our segregation laws and traditions." Armed with tight control over their calendars, certain Southern district judges have delayed civil rights cases for months and years, played cat and mouse with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and mocked the Supreme Court. Where possible, they remand cases for endless adjudication by state courts. When reversed, they take back the same case and start all over. Little can be done short of impeachment-a tactic successfully used only four...
...sheer bed-living room farce, A Severed Head is manipulated cleverly and performed with skill. Heather Chasen as Antonia cat-licks laughs off her lines, and Paul Eddington as the pietistic psychoanalyst arcs his body in gestures of helpfulness, as if he were physically proffering mental health. As the anthropologist, Sheila Burrell looks like a shrunken head that has been restored to lifesize, and Robin Bailey's Martin, while a trifle actorish, is very much the passive modern vacuum-hero into whose life trouble rushes...
...daughter, Cheryl, killed her mother's lover. Producer Joseph E. Levine has dressed it up as what used to be called "a woman's picture." Amidst sumptuous settings, supposedly inhabited by the haut monde of San Francisco, Heroine Susan Hayward plays a world-famous "sculptor, pagan, alley-cat" who detests her domineering mother (Davis), betrays her war-hero husband, unwittingly snares a gigolo with her daughter until one calamitous night when the kid picks up a chisel and . . . What follows is a custody battle, some gamy dialogue, and numerous untidy revelations, none of them very interesting. "With...
