...campus, radicals accuse the University of being the lackey of a corrupt, imperialist, racist society. They demand a cessation of those practices which they consider to be key to maintaining such a society. They ask the University to take the lead in remaking that society. The administration counters with the argument that it is not proper for a university to become involved in politics. They see a university as a free area where any ideas are welcome and all are free to partake of in intellectual pursuits. They see the radical demands and tactics as a threat to this "free...
...many areas, however, ARVN's progress is still disappointing, and not even the intense euphoria of the Cambodian excursion can overcome low pay, corruption and lackluster leadership.

Ubinam gentium sumus...
...dialogue is merely specious; it is the attitudes that are openly corrupt. The film's war protester is Junkie Nick Filbert (Robert F. Lyons). To avoid the draft he woos a black woman with a large family, tries to flee to Canada, and attempts to convince an Army examiner that he is a raving queer. When none of the dodges work, he enlists in the Marines and becomes more gung-ho than John Wayne, only to slip back to his spaced-out civilian soul when he is pronounced psychologically unfit. The only implication left is that antiwar demonstrators...
