...telling commentary on the whole evening was the audience's uncertainty whether to applaud once Chestnut's body was removed from the stage. The plot threads were that tenuous. A few glimpses of Chestnut as a baby, cub scout and young man were projected on the wall of the house, but these seemed only token gestures after the exciting film work in Zone 2. With greater selective judgment, Criss could have shortened this play by one hour and made far better use of his extremely gifted actors. Where he did venture into experimentation, he had solid backing from John Jacobson...
...Girl Scout. Angela Davis, 26, is black and, slogans aside, beautiful. She is an outstanding scholar and teacher as well. Outwardly, the circumstances of her early life seem almost contrivedly good: both her parents were schoolteachers in Birmingham, Ala., where she went through the tenth grade as a straight A student.

Though he is almost as bald as a Boy Scout's knee, Yoshikawa never misses his weekly trip to the barber, who trims what tendrils are left and gives him a massage.

The direction by Skin Flick Impresario Russ Meyer (TIME, June 13, 1969) is full of sexual innuendo of the kind that might impress a lickerish Boy Scout.

The movie is just a lark-a big camp, don't you see-but many people may not see, and those who do will probably not care...
Help from Boy Scouts. KOA franchise operators are mostly farmers and ranchers with unused land. They pay the company a fee of $8,900, plus $300 a year and 8% ot whatever they charge campers-a price that ranges from $2 to $6 per night. The fee can rise to $100 a week if the customer wants to rent a trailer, which some franchise holders offer as well. What KOA gives the franchise operator is national advertising, a toll-free telephone-reservations service, listing in its Kampground Directory and rigidly enforced standards. Minimum facilities include electrical hookups, sewage disposal...
