...almost gone by the time we were over Viet Nam. The setting sun bathed the clouds in orange as the pilot, Major John Thigpen, 38, of Windsor, N.C., banked his B-52 into the bomb run. Below him, on the lower deck, the bombardier-navigator, Major Leonard Harris, 39, of Atlanta, hunched behind his radarscope, adjusting the scanner, like a television cameraman, until it gave him a moving, living map of partially cloud-obscured plantation country northwest of Saigon. Under that cover was the target, a suspected troop concentration. Everything had to go right the first time. The slightest navigational...
...world's first cloud billowed over Alamagordo 23 years ago this month, every U.S. President has hoped to cap his Administration with an agreement designed to avert nuclear Armageddon. Truman described it as "the one purpose that dominated me." Eisenhower called his failure to make any progress in the disarmament field "one of my major regrets."

Now, in the waning months of his presidency, Lyndon Johnson...

He's gotten local groups (The Cloud, Quill, The Beacon St. Union, the Ill Wind), two Harvard groups (the Bead Game and Listening), and even visiting national recording groups (Clear Light and the Buddy Guy Blues Band) to play for periods of half an hour or longer --all for free...
Among other absurdities, this western has pretty cloud effects, photographed through such dense filters that it is hard to tell whether the scene is day or night. The tired bloodshed of the plot about gringos and greasers-as the script tastefully refers to Texans and Mexicans-is a vehicle for England's Terence Stamp, Cheapside accent and all. Would you believe that he plays a gunman raised from childhood by a band of Mexican brigands...
