According to a recent survey by the Chicago Planning Council on Aging, 41% of the city's 518,000 residents over 60 feel that crime is their most serious concern. "Statistically speaking," says Robert J. Ahrens, director of the Mayor's office for senior citizens, "the elderly aren't victims of crime more often than other age groups. But the effects are much more severe. If a young woman is knocked down during a purse snatching, she gets up with a few bruises. If an 80-year-old woman is knocked down, she could suffer a broken...
...having said all this, one must make a final admission about Network. There is a lunatic energy about it. Every once in a while, Chayefsky abandons the struggle to dramatize his ideas and has somebody, usually Holden, just turn to the camera and spout off. In those moments, his concern - and sometimes his mother wit - comes blazing through and the picture takes on a life not found in safe, sane, well-calculated movies...

Even more disturbing has been the official American response to evidence of the South Korean scandal. While State Department officials acknowledge that relations with South Korea have been severely strained by these revelations, they are quick to publicly assure President Park of America's steadfast military commitment. Concern about public support for this commitment has probably contributed to the delay of the official investigation. Suspicions of South Korean covert activities have existed for a decade and tangible evidence has been in the possession of American officials for at least four years. And yet these officials have only recently gathered...
While strategic geopolitical interests seem to have constrained American concern about the lobbying effort, there have been other reasons. Recently a State Department official revealed that senior members of the Nixon administration did little to curb the lobbying activity for fear of losing the Korean commitment of 52,000 troops during the Vietnam War. President Nixon sent a personal letter requesting that the South Koreans maintain their military aid to the Vietnam effort, with full knowledge of the South Korea activities and Seoul's fear of investigation...
