...scholars, students and faculty. It maintains a vision of a democratic society, where at all levels the people have control of the decisions which affect them and the resources on which they are dependent. . . . It is civil libertarian in its treatment of those with whom it disagrees, but clear in its opposition to any anti democratic principle as a basis for governmental, social or political organization...
Literature or Revelation. The authors faced formidable problems trying to meet the Supreme Court's requirements and at the same time answer serious theological objections. Though the Clark formula is clear, critics have argued that objectivity is difficult to realize in practice. Most religion courses, Jews maintain, are bound to reflect a Christian bias in what is historically a Christian society. Other critics insist that true impartiality, in any event, distorts the real nature of religion as a sense of the ultimate.

Rather than unify the film through a central protagonist's experience, Baillie portrays the world as a child sees it, conveying a clear sense of wonder through close-ups and impressionistic hand-held camera work. Shots with specific meanings reoccur in a variety of contexts, and characteristic Baillie imagery-a dark horse, an unlit entryway-rearranges itself according to a child-like vision...
