movie musings
Very shortly within the next
month or so The Academy of
on re A a
Sciences will announce its an
nual nominees for the coveted
"Oscar" in various categories
of cinematic excellence (or
mediocrity as is often and
pathetically the case).
There will be the usual often
corny ceremony with technical
difficulties and actresses arriv
ing late because their seam
stresses forgot to sew the bodi
ces on their gowns and all the
rest of the petty trivia com
plete with apologies (sadly en
ough not for the foolish choices
that are often made when the
top awards are announced).
As I am not too familiar with
awards for the technical aspects
of film making except in the
case of direction please afford
me the liberty of giving my
or he a
nominees and winners in the
categories of Best Actor Best
Actress Best Supporting Actor
Best Supporting Actress Best
Picture and Best Director.
Now I think you'll agree that
generally 1969 was a very good
year for films. All of the films
^listed below deserve recognition
at least in terms of a nomination
but this of course is impossible
because only five nominees in
each of the top categories are
selected to run for the top prize.
I haven't seen all of the films
being considered for nomina
tions this year but based on
their success at the box office
(and let's face it folks this has
a lot to do with the winning
choices) and critical reviews the
following motion pictures are
os be in on id re
nominations in the Best Picture
category: "Midnight Cowboy"
0"Easy Rider" "Z" (a film deal
ing with political assassination)
"True Grit" (Oh Yes!) 'Hello
Dolly" "Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid" "Alices
Restaurant" "The Secret of
Santa Vittoria" "Goodbye Col
umbus" "They Shoot Horses
Don't They?" There are un
doubtedly more but these are
the ones which are the most
likely candidates.
My choice without qualifica
on be id
Cowboy" a seething film about
two lost soul weary men
brilliiantly acted by Hoffman
^and Voight and skillfully di-
^rected by Jorn Schlesinger. But
the question that has been pop
ping up in the minds of cinema
bugs lately is will the Academy
give the best picture award to
an X-rated film? Remember the
Academy has an image to
uphold in the eyes of the public.
Would there be many objections
by the public if a film of this
type were to be given a top
award? Sadly enough and more
than likely yes. The Academy
has a bad habit of giving awards
merely to appease the public
very often substituting honors
for supreme artistic achieve
ment with those for sheer
artistic incompetence. So be it!
The race for Best Actress will
be very close. Earlier in the
year we were pleased to see
^Maggie Smith give a beautiful
tour-de-force in film entitled
"The Prime of Miss Jean Bro-
die." She could be overlooked
however. Academy voters have
a bad habit of forgetting
performances which occur at
the beginning of the year. Her
re at it if
nominated will be from Liza
Minelli who gave a shattering
performance as a kooky college
girl in "The Sterile Cuckoo"
and Jane Fonda who just walked
off with the New York Film
Critics' Award for Best Actress
for her portrayal of a weary
marathon dancer of the 1930s
in "They Shoot Horses
Usually the winner of this
award goes on to win the Oscar
although in recent years this
has not always been the case
pother actresses under consider
ation would be Barbra Streisand
in "Hello Dolly" Jean Simmons
for "The Happy Ending" Patty
Duke "Me Natalie Geraldine
Page in Triology" who in
cidentally just won the best ac
tress award given by the Na

vieivs and reviews by spec. 4 steve nardoza
tional Board of Review and
Genevieve Bujold "Anne of The
Thousand Days." Again my
choice for a winner would have
to be either Geraldine Page or
Maggie Smith in that order
although Jane Fonda has an ex
cellent chance.
There were very good
performances by actors during
the last year also. Among the
top contenders vying for best
actor nominations are Richard
Burton "Anne of The Thousand
Days" John Wayne for "True
Grit" Peter 0' Toole Goodby
Mr. Chips" Anthony Quinn for
"The Secret of Santa Vittoria"
or "A Dream of Kings
Richard Benjamin in 'Goodbye
Columbus Paul Newman and
Robert Redford for "Butch
Cassidy and "The Sundance
Kid" and Jon Voight and
us in a id
Cowboy."
Jon Voight would be my
number one choice. He will most
assuredly get a nomination alter
winning the New York Film
Critics' award for Best Actor
of 1969 but winning the Oscar
is another matter. Sentiment
is running high for John Wayne
for his clever performance in
"True Grit." Wayne has never
won an Oscar and is
performance in this film proves
he is a more than competent
actor. He's also been around
for along time. Academy award
voters are somewhat skeptical
abut giving a top award to a
relative newcomer to the film
industry such as Voight. But
then again Barbra Streisand
tied with Katherine Hepburn
for Best Actress last year in
her first film role so maybe the
Academy is finally eradicating
one of their most unjust idiosyn
crasies after all.
I really hate to speculate in
the categories Best Supporting
Actor and Actress primarily
because again I haven't had
the pleasure or displeasure of
seeing many of the perform
ances. But the three top con
tenders and those who
will surely get nominations are
Gig Young 'They Shoot Horses
Don't They?" Elliott Could
'Bob and Carol and Ted and
Alice and Jack Nicholson for
"Easy Rider." It's really a toss-
up. They were all superb but
I'm betting on Jack Nicholson
The Fourth U.S. Army Com

who gave afrighteningly
ludicrous performance of an
alcoholic lawyer. But then all
of the performances must be
seen in order to make an ac
curate judgment.
The same holds true with
those actreses in the running
for the supporting award. The
two that have been getting the
most publicity have been Dyan
Cannon in "Bob and Carol and
Ted and Alice" who won the
Best Supporting Actress Awrd
from the New York Film Critics
and Catharine Burns the nuday
adolescent in "Last Summer."
I saw them both and I would
lean toward Dyan Cannon as
the probable winner. But who
can say until three other con
tenders enter the race?
Best Director will also be a
neck to neck race. Chevas
Garvap is a strong contenler
his film "Z" which received
unanimously excellent reviews.
John Schlesenger is also a top

for "They Shoot Horses Don't

for "The Secret of Santa Vit
toria" George Roy Hill for
"Butch Cassidy and The Sun
dance Kid." Your guess is as
good as mine.
There are my choices for
possible nominations and a
longshot at the possible winners.
Now we have only to wait for
the nominations usually an
nounced in February and the
night of reckoning in April.

What's This
A Spec. 2?
An old maxim says that
without change there can be no
progress. This maxim certainly
is adhered to by the U.S. Army.
Two young soldiers were peer
ing over his shoulder as Spec.
6 Pete Burousas a grounds and
building maintenance supervisor
for Hq. 13th Spt. Bde. thumbed
through a notebook filled with
papers accumulated during his
almost 24 years of Army
service.
"Hey what's this?" one of
the younger soldiers asked stop
ping Burousas as he was about
to turn a page.
"Why just a certificate of
accomplishment from a unit I
served with in Germany back
in 1958" Burousas replied.
"No I mean this the
rank—it says you were Spec.
2. Is that right or is it a typing
error?"
Burousas then explained that
he had indeed been a Spec. 2
a rank equivalent to today's
Spec. 5 and that at the time
it was not at all uncommon.
He said that he was promoted
from corporal to "hard rank"
sergeant in 1954 wearing as an
E-5 what is now staff sergeant
E-6 chevrons. The Spec
stripes were identical to present
Spec. 5 stripes so Burousas did
no ha to ha
when Spec. 2 was converted to
Spec. 5.
Burousas was awarded the
certificate of accomplishment as
a Spec. 2 for outstanding
performance of his duties as
a maintnance man for wheeled
vehicles of an Eighth Inf. Div.
unit in Baumholder Germany.

THE ARMORED SENTINEL FORT HOOD TEXAS
(Maj. Walter A. Brusch Ft.
Hood's preventive dentistry
officer believes individuals
can reduce the amount of time
they spend in dental offices
a in so a
hygiene. Last week he discuss
ed the benefits of flossing in
stead of just brushing the
teeth. This week he explains
the proper method of brushing
and flossing.)
Before you can even begin
to be trained to effectively clean
your teeth you must first un
derstand what you are trying
to do with dental floss and the
toothbrush.
The purpose of these tools is
to break up bacterial colonies
which grow on teeth and if left
alone for more than 24 hours
then colonies will start causing
decay and periodontal disease
The next step to controlling
dental disease is learning to use
the floss and brush effectively
that is learning to use these
tools to prevent mature bac
terial colonies from forming.
Tooth brushing alone cannot
break up bacterial colonies
between the teeth. Dental floss
or tape is the basic tool for
cleaning these areas that the
brush misses round tooth picks
are also helpful.
First start with a good long
piece of floss about 24 to
30 inches. Wrap almost all of
it around your left middle finger
and several turns around your
right middle finger leave
about two to three inches for
cleaning the teeth. Start at the
same place every time you floss.
Use your index finger and
thumb to guide the floss between
the teeth. Do not pop the floss
through the contact points
you wiil injure your gums. Pull
the floss between the teeth and
slightly under the gum then
slightly wrap it around the back
tooth and pull up stopping
at the contact point then wrap
the floss around the front tooth
and pull up and out through
the contact. As you proceed the

floss may shread unwind the
reserve floss you have on your
middle finger when that hap
pens.
It takes real determination to
learn to floss. At first try it
may take 10 minutes but with
practice some people are able
to floss in less than two minutes.
You should learn to floss without
a mirror so that you can do
it anytime except when driving.
At first you may notice some
bleeding this is usually
sign that the gums are not as
healthy as they should be. After
a week of flossing this bleeding
usually stops because the gums
have become firm and healthy.
Of course if this bleeding does
rot stop you should consult your
dentist you may be cutting
the gums with the floss or you
may need periodontal treatment.
After flossing of course it
is necessary to brush these
areas between teeth and gums
missed with floss. As with floss
ing we want to clean under
the gums. The most effective
way of getting at these areas
is to place the bristles against
the teeth with some of the
bristles aimed gently toward the
gum. Do not move the bristles
but move the brush very slightly
in a vibrating motion.
Keep in mind that you are
trying to do disorganize
bacteria especially at the gum
line and that you must reach
every surface of every tooth
once a day. Remember the
surfaces inside the mouth must
also be cleaned this way. After
you have finished cleaning at
the gum line by this vibrating
action go ahead and scrub the
chewing surfaces.
