...entirely facetiously, Berkeley Political Science Professor Paul Seabury points out in a Commentary article that there is "blatant inequity" in the fact that only two of the 38 faculty members in his department are Republicans. His observation is not an argument for the imposition of political quotas on a faculty; it is really an illustration of the difficulty of organizing any complex group by the application of quotas...
...make things more uncomfortable, there is a strange absence of shock value in the episodes of trickery recorded by this film. While the success of such blatant exploitation is dismaying, and the number of tricks employed prodigious, the real picture of a corrupt evangelist that Marjoeprojects almost duplicates the stereotype made popular by the fictional Elmer Gantry. It is a sad but true comment that the dishonesty illumined already seems logical in the context of evangelical religion...
None of these blatant exercises in bias remotely compared with the decision rendered against U.S. Light Middleweight Boxer Reginald Jones, 21, in favor of Valery Tregubov, 25, of the Soviet Union. The opening round could plausibly have been judged a standoff, with the more experienced Russian consistently dancing out of trouble. In the second round, Jones rocked Tregubov several times and opened a nasty cut over his right eye. In the third, Jones nearly sent Tregubov to the canvas three times; the Russian was unable to punch back and lasted until the final bell strictly on guts and savvy...
Comparisons between the Republican and Democratic Conventions are inevitable because the differences between the two crystallize November's election choice. It is unfair to pan the Republicans for the absolute control and staging which distinguished their gathering, on for their blatant appeals to dissident Democrats. Shrewd politics win elections, and the two sure precedents for the Republicans' tactics are found in Democratic campaigns. Franklin Roosevelt exercised broad control over the 1936 convention which renominated him, and Lyndon Johnson did likewise in 1964. The Republicans of 1972 departed from these Democratic forerunners, though, because they were not confronted with immediate crises...
...soul brothers, a pair of Harlem plainclothesmen named Grave Digger Jones (Godfrey Cambridge) and Coffin Ed Johnson (Raymond St. Jacques) who made their movie debut in the casual, sometimes chaotic comedy thriller Cotton Comes to Harlem (1969). In Charleston Blue, Director Mark Warren shows a boisterous if somewhat blatant sense of fun as well as a knack for dealing with mayhem. Charleston Blue is like slaphappy and violent vaudeville. Under the guise of cleaning up the ghetto, a flashy fashion photographer called Painter is rerouting all the Mafia's heroin traffic through his own hands. Johnson and the Digger...
