...abysmal lies. Never seen out of his black turtleneck (a cop?) and sports car, he is played for a sexy and rich youth-figure who is persecuted by Vaughan, an evil representative of the Rotten Police Structure. Whatever McQueen does, the picture condones. His bumbling unfortunately amounts to virtual murder--to which his reaction are entirely visceral. Godard at least criticizes his terrorists; this one is rewarded, and the audience is expected to love him for his incompetence as much as the film. At its end, after he has managed to kill off the last man connected with his case...
...people-descendants of immigrants who came from as far away as Genoa, Malta, Arab countries and India-hold an anachronistic loyalty to Britain. Two years ago, they voted 12,138 to 44 in favor of staying British, and posters still enjoin: KEEP GIBRALTAR TIDY-KEEP IT BRITISH. Gibraltar has virtual freeport status, and its tidy bazaar economy caters to an average 2,200 tourists a day. Britain has committed a million pounds sterling to building a water-distillation plant and housing for married servicemen...
Some of Safeguard's most adamant opponents accept the need for continuing research and development in the field of missile defense. What they oppose is a binding decision this year - and the appropriations supporting it - to manufacture and deploy the missiles.

Massachusetts Republican Edward Brooke began circulating a written proposal to this effect three weeks ago. Last week Republican Whip Hugh Scott said in a press conference that...
...suggested that Poher, if elected, would have to battle an overwhelmingly Gaullist Assembly. By holding up this specter, Pompidou successfully managed to appeal to what Journalist Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber calls France's "overriding concern" with stability. Not the least of his weapons was to mention the virtual necessity of Poher's calling new parliamentary elections should he win: having voted eleven times since De Gaulle came to power, France is tired of elections...
...perplexed. One year ago the youth of America cried, "Peace!" "Don't let our boys die needlessly in Viet Nam!" "Make love, not war!" Today colleges are virtual battlegrounds. Either we are confronted by a generation of neurotics or we are permitting a few malcontents to disrupt our entire educational system. Like thousands of other G.I.s, I am looking forward to a college education after my discharge from the Army. More than anyone, I believe, we truly value the chance for self-improvement that a college offers. It would be a shame if we returned to the U.S. only...
