...liberal apologia count for naught when the director's only feeling is for carnage (a man's head getting shorn by a girder, or a pimp choking a whore with Draino). And The Seven-Ups' story of mixed roots in Little Italy--strong Buddy grows up to be a cop, while his weak friend Vito turns crook--is naturalism used to lubricate the gore machine. The Laughing Policeman is most barbarous of all: it primes viewers for two hours of pointless mayhem in the very first scene, when a nameless killer mows down eight strangers...

But he has long been the Securities and Exchange Commission's top cop as head of its tough Division of Enforcement and previously chief of its Division of Trading and Markets. Last week President Nixon promoted Lawyer Pollack (magna cum laude, Brooklyn Law School) to become one of the SEC'S five commissioners...
