...Patricia Hearst has not only fallen victim to a tragic kidnaping but also to a phylogenetically evolved trait that Konrad Lorenz in his book On Aggression calls "militant enthusiasm."

They then look for a cause that represents new and higher ideals into which they can wholeheartedly throw themselves. We have all experienced this phenomenon at one time in our lives, whether we acted upon...

Clad in a flowing white choral robe and white slacks, and topped by his shiny black Afro, Ingraham and the dashiki and and Afro-garbed choir exuded a contagious joy and enthusiasm in their singing.

...famous movie of the same name and tries to suggest things from the film, not reproduce them. Of course, things are added as well as suggested, or else there'd be no reason not to just set up a screen and show the film on it.

Music director David Garlock, working with half a dozen orchestrators and a fine 21-member orchestra, has shined up the original score with some fairly sophisticated arrangements that...
