...exhibiting pottery by Gerry Williams. Besides doing lovely examples of clay bowls and vases. Williams exhibits some of his humorous pieces about American history. One such work, "Watergate", deserves special mention here. The clay piece looks like a typical Washington D.C. monument, but the figures enshrined on the top bear vague resemblance to the heros of Watergate. Nixon stands in the middle holding a serpent and he has one foot on a crocodile. The roughly scrawled inscription on the base of the monument reads, "Get Back! Watergaters, crocodiles and dangergous fish-enemies. Raise not your heads. Let your mouths...
...finally takes a killing to end it. Lawrence Jones, a striking miner, is shot in the back of the head one night, and, ironically, the outside pressure brought to bear from the incident forces Duke to negotiate.

There has also been a lack of evidence indicating that students are willing to bear increased board costs that would be necessitated by the opening of the Union on weekends...
...Bear in mind that what makes the film a genuine offshoot of Nashville is its structure, not its theme: Rudolph's script is indeed relating Carroll's story but it is not focusing on him. No real overriding social commentary can be gleaned from Welcome to L.A. that compares with the heavy-handed moralism of Altman's Nashville vision. Instead, the state of the American psyche is Rudolph's primary preoccupation. He dubbed the genre of Welcome to L.A. "emotional science-fiction--it shows what will happen if we don't watch out." And his own words capture the essence...
