...basic premises of Forman's film are also what by common consent we now call fascist (although it bears only tangential relation to "fascist" regimes of the thirties). That is, it preaches violence over due process, irrationality over rationality, and might over right. There is nothing in this film to indicate that madness may have any positive intellectual value--only the sense that any restriction of brute animal instinct is unjustified. Self-expression of the strong is the sole good. McMurphy differs from the other patients in that he remains physically unimpaired while mentally he's just as hopeless...
...this year-or at least not so "Vulcanically." One unamused woman last year resisted a Krewe member's kiss and, after he persisted, took her grievance to the St. Paul human rights commission. She argued that the exchange of sooty kisses should be limited to consenting adults. So, when the carnival opens later this month, new rules will be in force. Only one Vulcan will be allowed to fire off blanks. No kissing will be permitted-only a messy smudging of the cheeks and only with consent...
...that it had been "the scene of acts which we regard as abominations." Moynihan argued that the Assembly "has been trying to pretend that it is a Parliament, which it is not," and acidly (but accurately) observed that "most of the governments represented do not themselves govern by consent of their citizens."

...official policy that the CUHS permissiveness becomes more evident. In some ways, the Committee sets looser standards for non-government research than the government-- that is, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare--sets for its own. For example, HEW tends to view informed consent--the concept that, before participating, subjects should clearly understand both the risks of a study and their right to withdraw from it at any time-- as the keystone of regulation. But at Harvard, according to Pattullo, informed consent forms are "seldom required...
...Republic National Life Insurance-all of which have either gone bankrupt or suffered dramatic losses. The Government accused Peat, Marwick of such practices as counting sales before they were made or blithely taking management's word for certain figures without independent verification. The suit was settled by a consent decree under which Peat, Marwick was forbidden with some exceptions to take on new clients for six months this year. The Securities and Exchange Commission has ordered three other reviews of Peat, Marwick practices as part of the consent decree -but it applauds the idea of auditors studying each other...
