...student (portrayed by Actor John Holecek) describes the ease with which he mastered basic bomb making, sketching the structure of his bomb in a childlike doodle of two circles and a dot: "You explode the outer ring of TNT which squeezes the tamper which compresses the plutonium core, and boom." Could a similarly self-taught terrorist steal (or, as the experts on the program delicately put it, "divert") the needed plutonium...
...NSCAR HAS yet really to attack the core of the problem in Boston: the Boston School Committee and its manipulation of whites and minorities alike. The School Committee is denounced, and two of 43 workshops do deal with matters relevant to local issues. In one Luis Fuentes discusses community control in New York schools, in the other the necessity of a coalition of blacks and whites to elect a pro-busing school committee member is stressed...

Even Jaeckin's chronicle of fantasies is obviously intended for men-his approach to soft-core photography is to show all of the women fully naked, but the men never naked below the waist. His camera rarely focuses on the men's physical or emotional responses to sex, but the women's are intimately scrutinized. The camera itself...
