...next few weeks, after a well-earned rest, Kennedy must weigh seriously the course his Administration will take in putting into effect the promises of the Democratic platform. He must draft an inaugural address, designed not to away an electorate, but to awaken the American people to the dangers, sacrifices and responsibilities that the next decade will present...
When the film finally does get down to historical cases, it proves to be shamelessly inaccurate. Two leading characters. Colonel William B. Travis (Laurence Harvey) and Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark), are respectively nastified and sissified almost out of recognition for theatrical effect. The Mexican army, apparently in deference to the large Mexican movie market, is presented as a body of sensitive young men who look as though they all have college degrees and suffer every time they pull a trigger.

Wary of Change. One of the chief subjects of debate among Wall Streeters was the effect on the market of predictions that Democratic Candidate John F. Kennedy will be elected. Some analysts believe that the market's recent slide was caused by the spreading belief that Kennedy will win and will bring on more inflation by stepping up Government spending.

But essentially his work cannot be judged by the eye, for he insists that he is addressing the mind. And if the mind reels, that is just the effect Dubuffet wants.

The Cantos are concerned with all history, 20th century history, Pound's personal story, and an eclectic sampling of all he has read. In effect, it is the poetical twin to Finnegans Wake. In sections laden with socio-economic bafflegab, multilingual word play and telegraphic truncations of meaning, the Cantos might as well be Finnegans Wake as far as most readers are concerned. But many of these poems are as water-clear...
