TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN. Woody Allen (who shared the authorship of this zany crime flick) has the star (an inept criminal played by Woody Allen) go through so many bungles that the film loses much of its comic momentum. However, the director (Woody Allen) sustains it all by providing some insanely funny moments...
Nixon's political pitch in New Jersey was a broader one, accenting Republican efforts to combat crime, improve transportation and check pollution. Campaigning for Republican William Cahill, Nixon did not stray outside friendly Bergen and Morris Counties. They gave him a 96,000-vote plurality over Hubert Humphrey last year, though he carried the state by only 61,000 votes (out of nearly 3,000,000). As in Virginia, the crowds were large, jubilant and overwhelmingly Republican...
...Crime, as in other places, continues to rise in California. More than 5% of California's population was arrested last year on various charges. The rate of personal crimes of violence rose almost 18% in 1968. In San Francisco alone, there have been more than 109 homicides so far this year; forcible rape in September of this year has risen 101% over September...
...homosexual subculture, a semi-public world, is, without question, shallow and unstable. Researchers now think that these qualities, while inherent in many homosexuals, are also induced and inflamed by social pressures. The notion that homosexuals cause crime is a homophobic myth: studies of sex offenders show that homosexuals are no more likely to molest young children than are heterosexuals. Homosexuals are more likely to be victims of crime: Sociologists John Gagnon, of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and William Simon, of the Illinois Institute of Juvenile Research, in a recent survey of homosexuals found that only...
...society. Police harassment, which still lingers in many cities and more small towns, despite a growing live-and-let-live attitude, wastes manpower and creates unnecessary suffering. The laws against homosexual acts also suggest that the nation cares more about enforcing private morality than it does about preventing violent crime. To be sure, it is likely that a more permissive atmosphere might convince many people, particularly adolescents, that a homosexual urge need not be resisted since the condition would, after all, be "respectable." On the other hand, greater tolerance might mitigate extreme fear of not being able to live...
