...each believed in the vestiges of Harvard's reputation enough to think that the nation might consider us the pride of her youth going up in smoke. What is more, we believed in goodness. Ideas like this spin black webs around your mind, and I know that in certain instants, I believed that if we followed through we could, of ourselves, end the war in a month. And so, to the question, what in the world can I do to end the war I suddenly had a terrifying and righteously beguiling answer. I could kill myself...
...Canada. "We talked for a while," says Lafferty, "then I found out that the kid had a child and a blind wife waiting for him outside the office." The client received an automatic deferment to support his wife. Occupational deferments are available to those who join apprenticeship programs for certain skilled trades (glass cutting, for example) and to farmers who can prove that they cannot be replaced in their work...

As a technician in planning the care and feeding of reporters on presidential trips, Ziegler is rated four stars. The smallest details-down to what sort of wardrobe is necessary-are handled with the smoothness that characterized the Nixon campaign...

Le Go/ Savoir features Jean-Pierre Léaud and Juliet Berto sitting around a TV studio engaging...

The very gentleness and simplicity of much of the visual imagery-the names of Renoir and Monet are constantly and rightly invoked in the dialogue-acts as counterpoint to the violence even as they deepen the sense of a past gone forever. There is a certain sentimentality involved in this kind of approach that prevents Adalen '31 from being the kind of great political document that The Battle of Algiers was. As a poignant portrait of people caught in the flux of history, however, it has seldom been surpassed...
