...rousingly played by Beau Bridges, decides that the only way to keep the home fires burning is to fire up Ivy with a romantic interest. He recruits Poitier with the threat of exposing his illegal gambling operation. Says Sidney: "What makes you think I'd be a good stud?" Grins Beau: "All spades are superior at that sort of thing." Poitier naturally falls for Ivy, and they bounce from bed toward bridal suite, strewing their path with petals of social commentary...

Unlike Khe Sanh, it is outside the 17-mile reach of North Vietnamese artillery...

As apprentice intellectuals in a country dominated by intellectual tradition, they were deeply dismayed by the content and direction of their stud ies. And by extension of that worry, they are now preoccupied with the place they will take in the world and what shape that world will have. The similarity between their concern and that which has grown up in the U.S. and the rest of Europe reflects a world community of youth...
