...first victim of The Boston Strangler has fallen. Ten equally obscene murders later, the community is hysterical but the cops are still as empty-handed as they are empty-headed. Their few scraps of fact have only served to compound the confusion. What kind of man would violate women with wine bottles and brooms? How could he gain entrance to so many apartments without using burglar tools? How can he murder with such blind, mindless ferocity and still leave no usable clues...

...placed under the charge of administrators, and told to interact--that would be "cheap social engineering." The solution is to recruit Masters who are committed to the intellectual goals of the university and to the social goals of the Houses. Heimert no doubt sees himself as this kind of compound figure. But his whole disposition makes him skittish about organizing other people's lives. "I don't plan to be a cruise director around here," he says...

Founded 18 months ago on the site of a former hot-springs resort, the stone-and-redwood monastery compound at Tassajara was purchased for $300,000 by a group of wealthy Zen enthusiasts.

Content for the most part to let the story unfold before his camera, Axel also uses his editing to compound the violence that provides so much of the epic's power. The man-to-man battle scenes are uniquely agonizing (as well as bloody). Romance flows like blood on the beach of a fiord where pounding surf drowns out the horses' hoofbeats...

...last week seemed to have won some favor with the Soviets for his open criticisms of "errors and inadequacies" in Dubċek's former policies. Others feared, but hardly dared say it, that the Soviets, having already made one tragic mistake in invading Czechoslovakia, might now compound it by ousting Dubċek and placing the country under a military government. In that case, the country's mood of self-imposed docility might well explode into defiance even more daring than the anger that faced down the tanks in the streets of Prague and left the blood...
