...Except for four "nonpolitical" speaking engagements-three in one day (Sept. 26) in Philadelphia and Manhattan, one in Detroit (Oct. 17)-and two televised political speeches, one on election eve. Ike's campaign schedule is far from firm, but his strategic approach has already been settled on. His No. 1 campaign task: wooing the independents whose help Nixon needs most. Even in avowedly political speeches, the White House indicated, Ike would not attack Democrats in general. "New Dea: Democrats" or "spending Democrats" (both bad) would be contrasted with "discerning Democrats" (who might be won to Nixon...
...true Manhattan snob boasts that he never goes to the pier-fringed West Side except when sailing to Europe. In that spirit, Actress Tallulah Bankhead last week lamented to a New York Timesman that she will soon be forced to journey west to begin rehearsals for her first Broadway appearance since 1957, the title role in Midgie Purvis, a new farce by Mary Chase. Said Tallulah in her Far East town house: "I never leave the East Side. I haven't been to a nightclub in ten years, and the theater bores me-and besides, I haven...
...emerges in A.D. 802,701 to discover a world populated by a passive and benumbed race called the Eloi-blond youths and maidens who retain little of 20th century cultures except the art of permanent waving and a grim phrase that means peace: "All clear."

(Raymond Spottiswoode's books might be included if they were not derivative from Pudovkin and Eisenstein.) I have little to say about it, except to recommend it. It is essential reading for anyone interested in films, and for such persons the only thing more important than reading it and Eisenstein is seeing, again and again, great films...
Marietto knows his way around every thing except the local schoolhouse and is just old enough to appreciate the fact that he is just small enough to be hip-high to a pair of toreador pants. Sophia plays the sort of doll who scratches where she itches, and sees nothing wrong with the lad's education. Gable, of course, tries to reform Marietto. "After all," he reasons, "you're part American." Says the live-end kid: "You no tell anyone, I no tell anyone." When Gable sees the boy touting for Sophia's gin mill late...
