...tactical maneuver in the face of a collapsing minority government, the U.S. must fully repudiate the apartheid regime of South Africa. Unless the U.S. exerts pressure on its corporations to comply with international embargoes on trade with the two embattled minority regimes, and on the South African government to abandon its rule in the immediate future, black nations will know the U.S. retains its generally racist and opportunistic perspective toward Africa and toward the Third Word as a whole...
...Hero is apparently in tended both as humorous metaphor and, in Menotti's words, as "a gentle, good-natured plea for Americans to wake up to reality, to abandon self-congratulatory illusions, to return to their former rugged individualism." The opera invites easy comparisons. There is a tape-erasing scene (David's awakening has been recorded); though the Nixon tapes are not mentioned, the point is obvious. Operatic comparisons are also in order. The Hero is a reverse twist on Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, that maudlin, heavy-handed tale about the impersonation of a dead...
Harvard must abandon its anti-union policies. Simpson should resign, or at least be removed from his current managerial role; his actions in the Glass case and in the current case should be investigated by an impartial third party unconnected to the Food Services or the Personnel Office. All threats of punishment against workers who participated in the walkout last week should be made public and retracted with a complete apology. Frank Weissbecker should remove himself from an investigatory role in this and other cases involving kitchen workers. Powers must withdraw his blind support of managers without regard to their...
...completely human. But Emmanuelle, whose only purpose in life seems to be to run around chasing new and pleasurable experiences while her husband is at work or playing polo, misses no chance to degrade herself. If ever a woman asked to be exploited, it's she; her willingness to abandon inhibition takes her finally to a Hong Kong brothel, where she sells herself to three sailors and brings the profits home proudly to Jean. And the director seems to think this is all fine: there are no shots of male genitalia in the film, despite countless views of female sexuality...
...view Kissinger's new policy as more than a tactical maneuver, the U.S. must fully repudiate Vorster's regime. The U.S. government should force corporations to withdraw from South Africa, and to comply with international sanctions. It should also exert diplomatic pressure on the Vorster government to abandon its minority rule. If the U.S. fails to pursue such a program--as appears likely--black Africans will know it retains its generally racist perspective towards Africa, and Third World nations will continue to regard American policies and promises with justifiable suspicion...
