Before driving the 28 miles to Danville to buy the second gun, Moore apparently made several attempts to hint at what she had in mind so that someone would stop her. She twice called her regular contact on the San Francisco police department. At least twice she telephoned the Secret Service. Once she phoned the FBI. But her incessant chatter muffled the danger she posed. Her calls were shrugged off by officers too busy for idle talk from a middle-aged woman who seemed to like playing conspiracy games and just wanted attention. They had more important duties that...

Documentary, after all, attempts to show glimpses of the truth, to portray people as they...
...dozen male actors who previously impersonated a right-minded mouthpiece. The premiere proved its maturity by showing us that '60s Weatherman types were really just hyperkinetic kids, capable of reform. Since everyone talked verree sloowwly in order to stretch the material to hour length, there was time to hint at a difference (known as psychopathy) between voting Socialist Labor and dynamiting buildings...
