...time Hatcher won the nomination for mayor, a crude frame-up would have been too obvious. Krupa tried the ideological tack. He labeled Hatcher a Black Power extremist and, as the smear spread, it widened to Communist. Krupa demanded that Hatcher repudiate Stokely Carmichael, Rap Brown, Joan Baez, Marlon Brando and sundry other so-called "pinkos" as proof of his patriotism. "I will never repudiate Marlon Brando," deadpanned Hatcher-though the subtlety was probably lost on most Garyites. For the rest. Hatcher would only say that he deplored "civil violence of any kind...

One, "Join the New Action Army," showed a handcuffed Captain Howard Levy, the cashiered antiwar Army doctor...

I can't remember being as upset with anything you've written about films as I am with this unjust, unfair and just plain unkind rap at one of the finest films ever projected on the American screen.
