...THOUGH we didn't see the emptiness and boredom beneath their smiles before, Cassavetes begins to make everything explicit. Celebration of the sensual turns into contempt. When we should feel pity, we feel disgust. At one point in an English gaming room, Archie finds himself with a repulsively ugly English society woman who won't let him walk away. The scene is utterly gratuitous, and Cassavetes is using the perversely banal to make cheap jokes. To present the underside of bourgeois respectability, he deliberately cultivates the unattractive...
...view is in a littlenoticed, remarkably subtle document issued by the U.S. Maryknoll missionaries after a general chapter meeting in 1966. Citing a "new optimism" in theology, the document declares that "the saving invitation and power of God reach out to all men" even if they do not attain "explicit faith in Christ and his Church." The role of the Christian is not to convert everybody but to be an example: "A sign before nations . . . a sign to confront them with the challenge of God's love, to tell them of their own deepest selves, to purify and illumine...
...thing, prosecutors should not be allowed to bring conspiracy charges when the plot has been carried out and the participants can be prosecuted for the very crime they conspired to commit.

The rest-and that's the most-should regard them with the kind of distaste reserved for the measles...
...well not have been the intention of the CSCR to jeopardize the further operation of PBH. But that is the effect of their decision and of the prospective cut in the building budget. No single implied or explicit criticism can be better helped through these financial cut-backs. Their stringency is great enough to make it natural, if perhaps mistaken, for people at PBH to feel they are being punished and placed on probation. The Committee on Students and Community Relations has served itself, PBH, and the Harvard community badly. It is they who should support their criticisms and make...
