...dominant facts of America today. Those attached to the old ideas and ideals cling to them even more tenaciously; those attracted to the new fight for it with greater energy. The path narrows between the new and the old. Today, says Astronomer Walter Orr Roberts, director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, "it is necessary to live with enough conservatism to resist the easy abandonment of concepts, but enough flexibility to be able, when necessary, to switch rather than fight...
...course this is not the rationale usually offered for refusing student participation. Usually administrators' reasons are vague and unreal. Dean Von Stade has said, "Student participation just wouldn't be the same if it were institutionalized." Edward T.

The quartet have mercifully honored us with only five songs, indistinguishable from one another with the exception of The Porpoise Song which has been on the radio for 41/2 months. The director plainly aspires to TV commercials and thinks he's got a line on how to be Richard Lester. He's mistaken. The film's distinguishing trait is its unbelievable paranoia: the plotless action has The Monkees chased, separated, persecuted, imprisoned, ignored, shot at, busted, spyed upon, abandoned, attacked, starved, crated, drowned...
