...period is late and whom among her countless bedmates could the culprit be? Then Henry sleeps with her. The girl is a modern version of Aunt Augusta stripped of the illusions. She faces facts with the same irresponsible gaiety in which Aunt Augusta cloaked her dreams. It is a bare-faced present, made out to have all the substance of the past with none of its style...
...East. For another, the Woodstock experiment had been broadcast as a failure even before it really got off the ground-principally by ex-Jesuit Garry Wills in an acerbic 1971 piece in New York magazine. Wills' article (currently a chapter in his book Bare Ruined Choirs) was made even more damaging by the accompanying photos of seminarians lounging en deshabille. It undercut Woodstock's hopes and image at a crucial time...
...disciplinary one. The Manhattan version of Woodstock was admittedly a haven for many and varied lifestyles. The residences, scattered along 1½ miles of the Upper West Side, housed the studious here, the activists there. Beards and long hair vied with modest sideburns, turtlenecks and slacks with cutoffs and bare feet.

...Fellini's Rome is his hallucination, constructed out of studio parts on a million dollar budget. It is to be the city of his imagination, something mythic, and anything so conventional as reality is drastically out of place. So the documentary surface is mere bare-faced pretence. The film moves in a sequence of discreet setpieces--imaginative sashays from bordello to palazzo, now nostalgic, now futuristic--a self-conscious patchwork of familiar imagery in a new extravagance. Fellini is banking on the strength of his own sensibility to hold all the elements together, and the film is as interesting...
