Manhattan looks handsomer, cleaner and brighter to me than it did when I was last here three years ago. A lot of good work seems to have been done on those slums along the tracks between 138th and 110th streets, and many of the new buildings in Midtown are a delight...
...morning the night before the third bust and second police battle. We are walking down Broadway from Columbia's 116th Street --Checkpoint Charlie, where you pass in and out the campus through credentials check. Shouting and sounds of riot draw us around the corner of 110th St. A dozen students standing in front of a small white-pillared building are shouting up at a 15-story Columbia dormitory, Carmen Hall.

...Cool World. Fifth Avenue, for all the U.S. moviegoer knows, comes to a dead end at 110th Street. Beyond that point lies Harlem, the black hole of Manhattan, where almost half a million Negroes and Puerto Ricans are confined by pressures of prejudice and poverty; and beyond that point, U.S. moviemakers seldom venture. Indeed, this film is the first full-length movie that has ever been shot in Harlem. Produced by Frederick Wiseman and directed by Shirley (The Connection) Clarke, The Cool World is a crude but often effective sociological shocker: a story of how cold old Mother Harlem indifferently...
