...South Viet Nam since he arrived seven months ago. Winner of nine Air Medals and recommended for both the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Silver Star, Boddie can lay bombs or napalm within 30 meters of his own troops and take as much steel as the Viet Cong can dish out. Yet he is able to say of Stateside antiwar demonstrators: "I'm here to protect their right to dissent...
...means of wish-fulfillment fantasizing, its rhythms. But one aspect of his method that can be identified is his use of close-ups. Objects inherently grotesque, though subdued by their everyday contexts, often fill his Panavision screen: fishguts on a butcher's block, kidneys plopping into a cat's dish. The viewer perceives that what might have been a "shock image" in Polanski or Hitchcock has not been used as such, but has been subdued by its context, as such things are in our everyday consciousness...
...Good morning!" says a raw egg, lolling in a shallow dish, its yolk bearing an advertisement for a no-pressure printing technique, proving that the ovum can become a commercial.

In order to make some money, they cannot help, as soon as the school bell rings to dismiss school, rushing to various hotels, restaurants, and coffee houses to fight for jobs as dish-washers, waiters, baby-sitters, etc. They often work from 4 o'clock in the afternoon straight to midnight; after that they drag their tired bodies back to their dormitories. And the wages they get are pitifully small. In restaurants near, or even far away from some universities, university students...
