Economic Aid. In a harsh column in the semi-official daily Al Ahram last week, Editor Mohammed Hassanein Heikal observed that "the U.S. is not in a position to exercise pressure on Israel, either because she does not want to or because she is unable to."

...conclusion, both Jonathan and Sandy have become fatuous travesties of the American male, a creature, the film implies, who loathes the apposite sex. Sandy is a superannuated swinger, complete with stash, burns and a 17-year-old hippie on his arm. Jonathan is even more pathetic. In the final semi-surrealistic scene, he lies on his back awaiting the ministrations of a prostitute (Rita Moreno).

ELIZABETH STEVENS, 23, is the closest of the six to the semi-hippie life of "Consciousness III." Once a social activist at Wheaton, a fashionable women's college in Massachusetts, she now lives in a ramshackle house near Putney, Vt. Mike Kronley, her roommate, is teaching her photography, and she is baking bread and eating organic foods...
