...DOCUMENTARY'S only villain is Premier Pierre Laval. His personal behavior casts him as such in the film's context of what is ugliest about the French: their anti-Semitism. They embraced the ideology of race purity using stricter criteria than the Nuremberg laws. Newspapers blamed France's defeat on "foreign elements." Doctors used the Gestapo to rid themselves of Jewish competitors. In the cinemas films played like The Jew Suss, which warned against interbreeding. Especially distressing is a newsreel of the memorialization of France's first anti-Semitic "authority" coupled with views of a touring exhibit...
...REMARKABLE aspect of Weil's discussion of drugs in this context is his refusal to attribute value judgements to the varied expressions of this need to experience a high.

The concept of the original Resolution was broad, directed at defining the rights and responsibilities of all members of the University community. It forcefully emphasized the importance of free speech, academic freedom, and freedom from personal force and violence...
...Maass amendment, and other alterations of language in the main body of the Resolution, effectively severed student actions from both their political context and the question of Administration responsibility. The Resolution had never been one of the great charter documents of Western democracy, but it at least initially appeared to be an even-handed directive to all segments of the University community. Following these revisions, the Resolution served exclusively as a blueprint for disciplining unruly students without caring a whit for the political reasons that had prompted their unrest...
