...finds that it has more than paid for itself. When he draws up a will, Cassidy has his client read it over in front of the camera. Then he asks questions calculated to prove the willmaker is of sound mind, and winds up the taping by having the document signed and witnessed. He predicts that any subsequent challenge will have little chance in the face of such evidence. He has also taped standard instructions to witnesses and clients, explaining the basics of testifying. That saves him an hour with each person. When he must be away, he tapes information...
...disastrous defeat by Israel in June, and in September, while under house arrest for allegedly plotting a military coup, Amer either committed suicide-the official version of his death -or was killed. After his death, intelligence agents of another Arab state obtained in Cairo a 14-page document said to be Amer's last testament.

As a personal statement, Chappaqua appears uncompromisingly honest, by virtue of the rigorous structuring of the film, the asceticism of the visual effects (compared, say, to Corman's The Trip), and Rooks' own sympathetic and attractive personality...
...supplied one. "The difference in achievement," explained Coleman at a Harvard colloquium on the document, "at grade twelve between the average Negro and the average white is, in effect, the degree of inequality of opportunity, and the reduction of that inequality is the responsibility of the school." With this concept at the heart of the survey, Coleman could make his effort more than a catalogue of the nation's school books and black-boards. He asked what now seems the obvious question: why don't poor children achieve...
