...Chicken Little proportions to discern that bits of sky were falling on the Nixon Administration. The Haynsworth case, the Green Beret debacle, disarray in the Justice Department, the Republican loss in a congressional special election, bitter debate over Viet Nam-all at once all the news was bad. Yet somehow, Nixon seemed unconcerned and aloof from it all. Hugh Sidey, TIME'S Washington Bureau chief, found that attitude perhaps as alarming as the events themselves in the most trying time Nixon has yet had in office, and offered this analysis...
...protest, irony, or bitterness-as intolerable betrayal of the public trust. It has profoundly affected us all, even as we move to criticize it, and reduced our spirits to onerous waste. Vietnam, the implicit subject of Arlen's book, has been turned, despite unprecedented "coverage," into a cause (somehow worthy) of America's fetid evangelical toil.

A planeload of 40 touring American students was somehow blown off course, crash-landed on an isolated mid-Pacific island and, in the process, lost its radio and any hope of ever returning to civilization. So the kids, stereotypes to a man (one militant black, one racist white Southerner, one rebellious daughter of a Senator) have to create their own world in a sort of college-age Lord of the Flies. In the opener, they played Hobbes with themselves and plausibility. The life...
BRUCE BAILLIES films stand outside of any perceptible trend in the avant-garde. While most artists are engaged in some species of radicalism. formal or political, Baillie's vision harkens back to an earlier time and a less painful consciousness-the beat sensibility of Ginsberg and Snyder. Struggle somehow seemed simpler then: perhaps the enemies all came in capital letters. It was Technology against poetry back in the fifties Machines against men, Moloch bludgeoning Blake...
