...most entertaining or suspenseful work, but still it stands as a monument to the vision, brilliance and sheer force of America's greatest working director. Hitchcock's visual narrative and moral stance dominate the picture from first shot to last-so much so, that one is oblivious to plot inanities inherited from the Leon Uris novel and the largely clodlike performances of the cast (Michacl Piccoli, Philippe Noirct and Rocoe Lee Browne excluded...

Terry Was cut down on a search-and-destroy mission last July. When Elmwood rejected his family's application for a plot, he was temporarily interred in one of Birmingham's black cemeteries. In his decision, Federal Judge Seybourn Lynne cited a Supreme Court ruling last month that desegregated a neighborhood-owned swimming club in Fairfax County, Va. (TIME, Dec. 26). Both cases, said Lynne, provide examples of restrictive covenants that...
