When Murphy joined the Harvard Police Department in 1964, universities required very little training of their cops. Before the University Hall occupation in April 1969, Murphy says, a cop just had to walk around and be like a big brother, advising students as a friend. "Back then, you never had your assaults and larcenies and rapes that you have now," he says, shaking his head...
...final moments of Taxi Driver constitute one of those endings too good too spoil. Intellectually it's a trifle slick, a sort of cinematic illustration of the old Rolling Stones lyric about "just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints..." But if Scorsese teases us through the body of the movie with latent violence, he more than compensates for it in the final shootout--a rapid, graphic sequence of knives, bullets and blood, followed by a perversely loving, achingly detailed pan over the scene of the massacre.

Kissinger's 39 hours in Venezuela included a tire-squealing 60-m.p.h. climb from the sea-level airport up to Caracas, where Kissinger placed a wreath at the Simon Bolivar shrine.

Physically, Kennedy has a beefy Tightness for his part that adds some realism to the preternatural goodness with which TV cops are currently...
...very original; Dylan himself used this threatening pattern before, in All Along the Watchtower. But it's effective. Luther's congas charge through the chorus with the pace of horses' hoofbeats--the uninhibited power of Hurricane's vengeance. The verses are short, clipped--the insistent bullying of a Patterson cop extracting the cooperation of Arthur Dexter Bradley...
