...seen puffing happily in a duck blind. Cut. The sound track plays Smoke Gets in Your Eyes while a Winston kind of couple revels in a shipboard romance. Cut. A Salem-style twosome, high on tobacco and each other, enjoy an apres-ski spree. How can such a splice-up of burnt-out cliches sell cigarettes? That's the point. The voiceover during the 60-second spot has been saying right along: "Cigarette smoke contains some interesting elements: carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, benzopyrene, hydrogen cyanide. Cigarette smoke has been related to increased rates of lung cancer, coronary heart disease, peptic ulcers...
...Negro also has been denied his development as a positive intellectual and social force. There is nothing really very new in Cleaver's analysis or black militant ideology. There is the familiar castigating of white liberals, the spewing forth of raw and undigested hate, the attempt to splice an artificial bond with victims of colonialism throughout the world.

Then the best passages are shredded into as many as 250 snippets, shuffled into order and spliced into a single, note-perfect performance on 3,800 ft. of master tape...
...hour. "Some people," he cautioned, "expect a tearful farewell. Others expect I will take a few swings." But Jack held back both tears and hostilities. His "easy way out" was to limit his contribution to a few bridges of continuity-the rest of the show was a splice-up of some of his favorite vignettes from past seasons. There he was again as the bowlegged, barelegged (except for anklet socks) toreador fleeing a rampaging bull in a Madrid ring. Or replaying his "Now a message from Alka-Seltzer," which was unexpectedly punctuated by a belch from Jonathan Winters. Or sending...
