...notorious Push Comes to Shove, a wild-eyed attack on everyone who did not agree that absolutely nothing could be permitted to disrupt the University during the 1969 Harvard strike. Although analytically unsound (students, he said, held radical beliefs because they were either 'crazy' or bereft of feminine companionship), the book was received with predictable acclaim by a sordid mixture of tired old leftists-turned-cold warriors and outright conservatives...
...dark and gloomy film, The Clown's Evening presents life as a brutal humiliation--a life difficult to endure which, in the final analysis, resignation and companionship may make tolerable. Many people interpret the film as absolute pessimism, probably because it eschews the idyllic presentation of Bergman's earlier films such as Summer Interlude and Summer with Monika.

Manhattan seemed to be at the ends of the earth, and a look at the faces hurrying down the sidewalks suggested that in New York, personality and companionship had ceased to exist in public places--except as they had been re-invented by the younger and more adventurous city-dwellers. One re-invention of public personality that has recently swept New York is the spray-painting and magic marking of every available surface, especially subway cars, by teenage graffitists...
