...want to get you hooked on us" was the blunt challenge that greeted us five from Harvard (William Becker DivSch, William Whitney GSAS, Michael Boyd '66, Soheil Zendeh '65, and myself) upon our arrival in St Augustine, March 31. Hosca Williams, a Negro integrationist leader with boundless energy and a broad smile was briefing us on the local situation.

Why, with all its own resources and innumerable classics to draw from, did the Lincoln Repertory directors shoot their...
...ills of men by poking through the ashes of religious faith. His concluding statement is a bold, unpredictable work, touched with genius, but at the same time murky, exasperating, and occasionally dull. Those expecting a magnum opus will be disappointed; so will those looking solely for sensation. For the blunt dialogue and the erotic scenes-shortened by 55 seconds for U.S. distribution-seem justified as part of the film's theme and development...
