...looser approach does have advantages. To bypass the restrictions a big studio would place on his work. Cassavetes garnered half of the million dollars required for Woman by mortgaging his house and borrowing from friends. Peter Falk put up the other half-million. In the sacred age of Earthquake it is rare to find an artist willing to go into debt to preserve his integrity and the independence of his actors...

The new flexibility of the president who succeeded Pusey proved to be less substantive than procedural. Students are allowed a voice, now, through student-faculty committees and even, as the University's non-reaction during the 1972 occupation of Mass...
