...SCAAS is a sub-committee of the Harvard-Radcliffe Black Students Association (HRBSA), and is chaired by Peter Hardy. It was the SCAAS that organized the forum. The student committee's reasons for presenting the forum were two fold: first, to commemorate Malcolm X, and second, to highlight the similarities between the struggles which Malcolm confronted and those which confront Third World students, with a special emphasis on a particular fight here at Harvard--that of the Afro-American Studies Department...
...couple that might be the victims (or the perpretrators) of who knows what hideous crime of romantic vengence. This Francis Ford Coppolla movie--one for which he had trouble finding funding or distributors--works hauntingly on at least three levels. Metaphorically, it serves to highlight the pathologically paranoid mood of the last years of the Nixon administration and the Watergate cover-up.

This ironic justification of defense spending as a public jobs program has often proved to be a formidable obstacle to opponents of Pentagon spending...
...gives a zany view of the fine line between the sane and the insane. The play is a wild conglomeration of mistaken identities, costume changes (performed on stage), the disappearance of characters who never existed, and other madcap antics, all of which are somehow untangled in the final scene. Highlight performances are given by Leo-Pierre Roy and David Reiffel, who ham it up beautifully as incompetent representatives of the psychiatric profession...
