...have something nice and cinematic to look at as long as you're working; therefore cameramen are drawn to certain types of shots. Unfortunately, from the look of Woodstock , everyone was drawn to the same simple events. No one bothered to film the stuff that one needs to edit a good sequence. For instance to return to the Who, Roger Daltry wore his shimmering white fringe vest, a natural attraction to a cameraman; so everybody must have filmed him in close-up, because they liked the way the light played on that vest and his blonde hair...
...edit it either. The lead article, a muddled dissection of CIA, FBI and CBS involvement in an abortive 1967 invasion of Haiti (currently under secret investigation by a House committee), raises more questions than it answers. More persuasively, a Viet Nam veteran recounts several killings that grimly resemble My Lai. Brutality of another kind is the subject of a strong article on the "Woodstock West" folk concert held last December at Altamont race track in California. Why, Scanlan's wonders, was there not more attention paid to the fact that four people died, 700 were treated for bad acid...

"If it will work anywhere, it will work here," says Norman A. Mott Jr., the third in his family line to edit the weekly Yazoo City Her ald. "Lord knows we've tried hard...
...EDITING REALITY. More worrisome than the influence of individual commentators is the effect that can be achieved by the selection of film or tape footage. In this way TV producers can more or less edit reality. Television, even more than other media, has a bias for action and excitement. A small disturbance at a cross-section can, when it fills a TV screen, suggest an entire city in riot. Similarly, during the Newark riots of 1967, TV reporters and their audience were duped into believing that a church assistant was a minister and prominent black spokesman. Hundreds of charges...
Capitalist Instinct. Eric Gordon, a self-styled "leftist socialist" who went to China in November 1965 to edit and translate revolutionary tracts and literature for Peking's Foreign Language Press, also made one costly error. Preparing to leave China in November 1967, he packed some notebooks in his suitcases. As a result of this "smuggling," he lived with his wife and son for two years like characters in an existential drama, locked in a single hotel room...
