Unwilling to grind out a routine crime melodrama, but unable to turn it into the cynical satire he seems to have hoped he was making, he simply botched his assignment. Frankenheimer's flair for action sequences-a chase involving a school bus, a shootout in a giant, steaming laundry-can still be summoned up.

...they oppose any such move because of the already strained housing and educational resources for undergraduates. All the other members of the committee have at least expressed a willingness to consider the size increase. Most of the older committee members appear to fear the prospect posed by Dr. Chase N. Peterson '52, vice president for alumni affairs and development, that any decrease in the number of men at Harvard could seriously threaten efforts to maintain existing levels of alumni donations...
