Clearly, this had been Barney's Baby, and he took the protest in a very personal way. The cautious hostility he had for SDS now moved closer to hate. He would say later that he believed the Harvard campus was faced with a monumental issue: whether such blatant violations of personal liberty were to be tolerated. For his part, he did not see how they could. SDS had shown itself to be profoundly "undemocratic," and their tactics deserved to be damned until they were discredited. He might have liked to undertake that fight, but as associate director of the Kennedy...
...very blatant. There are flashing lights, Zippo lighters, Agfa cameras, labyrinthine corridors. All the Alphavillagers walk around deadpan. If you weep when your wife dies or say words like "Why" or "Conscience," you get shot. There is this Big Brother named Professor Von Braun (can't miss that) who runs the computer. And Von Braun's picture is everywhere. The Von Braun's daughter Natasha (Anna Karina), will say to Caution, "Love? What is love...

In January, for example, Los Angeles Publisher Milton J. Luros (estimated annual sales: $6 million) and eight associates were convicted on 147 counts of violating anti-obscenity laws by deluging Iowa with six smutty paperbacks and 14 nudist magazines. Although 250 obscenity cases are now pending in California...
Robert Ardrey's script much too neatly points up the similarity between fanatic Mahdi and fanatic general, and invents two dramatic confrontations between them that never occurred. But such blatant departures from history are rare. Vividly directed by Basil Dearden, Khartoum evokes the spirit and likeness of a brave, baffling soldier...
