...folk magazine Sing Out! and in Village folk clubs like Cafe Wha? and Gerde's Folk City, hoovering the great American folk-song book and the performing styles of the day. He also got an instant education from his first New York girlfriend Suze Rotolo, a political activist who took Dylan to an evening of Brecht songs in the Village...
...disassembling itself. It is not; rather, it is recognizing its reduced role on a campus with a new mechanism for social programming. After weeks of discussion on several different restructuring plans (including plans to create a new outreach committee), the UC, influenced by a number of student activists, decided to serve the College the best by reducing its numbers. With a 36 to 10 tally, the “2x2” bill—so-called because a total of two representatives, split between two committees, will represent each House and yard—narrowly achieved the three-fourths...

Same with Sylvia (Maria Full of Grace's Catalina Sandino Moreno), one of the horribly exploited immigrants. Even someone (like me) who might agree with every political point in the film will get exasperated with the obviousness...
...have to eat a little shit from time to time." Kris Kristofferson brings his flinty authority to the role of a rancher who knows all the dirty tricks of the meat business. And the knee-jerk Leftie in me appreciated Lou Taylor Pucci's comments as a campus activist. He notes that, these days, any of act of civil disobedience could attract the attention of the Department of Homeland Security, and adds, "Right now, I couldn't think of anything more patriotic than violating the Patriot Act." There's also an effective scene where the college radicals try liberating...
