...high degree of independence by playing off one side against the other. In Laos, the Russians have managed to prevent the Communist Pathet Lao guerrillas from falling under Chinese influence. In North Korea, the Soviets capitalized on Peking's insults of the regime of Premier Kim II Sung to nudge the country closer to Moscow's position...
...politician, the warden, the moll', LSD, the balloon and the gangster chief called "God"? Well, that's it. End of joke. It's called Skidoo, and the only conceivable reasons to see it are 1) to hear each and every credit, from cameraman to copyright date, sung on the sound track; 2) to see actors like Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Burgess Meredith, Peter Lawford and even Groucho Marx make fools of themselves; and 3) just to believe that it exists.

Instead of a Wagnerian selection, he sang an aria from Verdi...
...unique niche in popular music, one that indeed defies categorization. They wrote a large collection of songs before Promises--such as "Reach Out for Me," "What the World Needs Now is Love," "The Look of Love," "I Say a Little Prayer,"' "Message to Michael"--most of which were initially sung by Dionne Warwick. These compositions owe something to rock, something to soul and something to Gilbrerto. But it is rock without the acid, soul without the traditional soul beat and orchestrations, Gilberto without the relaxing rhythms...
