...Charity than any other musical film around. Most astounding, perhaps, is Fosse, who makes his directorial debut with this film. As a Broadway choreographer, Fosse has been one of the outstanding conceptualists, blending his distinctive angular vision of the human form with the demands of a specific show. (His peak probably was How to Succeed, in which he transformed his chorus line into a human typewriter.) In Charity, Fosse manages to capture his dancers' frenetic contortions while never allowing the big numbers to crowd the actors off the screen. He also is fortunate to have a cast that deserves...

Although the target star seemed to be shining steadily, the astronomers fed its light into an electronic device that made 12,000 separate light-intensity measurements every second. They quickly discovered that the starlight increased to a peak about 30 times per second, a variation too rapid to be detected by the human eye. The flashes corresponded exactly to the radio pulses from the Crab pulsar, strongly suggesting that the target was indeed the pulsar. Unlike an earlier and apparently erroneous sighting of a flashing pulsar (TIME, May 31), this discovery was confirmed by the McDonald Observatory...

"He used to arrive in a taxi and go home afterward the same way." At his peak, Partridge made $300 a week...
...before their preinduction physicals are older than General Hershey. Its satires on sex are far more outrageous-and successful. In a jet-black humorous sequence, a Kennedy-assassination-conspiracy theorist strips a girl-and then marks her body for the entry points of the bullets. The film's peak is a mockery of pornographic films that could laugh Grove Press out of business...
