...first step toward preventing such a loss in the future would be open discourse among the University, faculty and students. Questions must be posed an answered to find out exactly why a Theda Skocpol, or a Molly Nolan, etc., was denied tenure. Otherwise our academic resources are limited for reasons that are kept from...
Despite plot holes through which one could fly several 747s (Why does this potion only affect him and not the Mexicans? When somebody gets killed, aren't the police usually involved? Don't most people recognize an ape when they see one? etc.) Altered States might have redeemed itself with a successful conclusion. Instead, Chayefsky, Russell and even Hurt are at their worst. The director lifts the worst parts of the ending of 2001; the screenwriter suddenly discards the rest of the movie in favor of banalities about the "power of love"; and the actor plays it all like Aeschylus...
...anchorite, Lee spends time communing with the desert, but he certainly knows his way around town when it comes to filching TV sets for ready cash As he puts it, he and his brother are both "city coyotes."

They're all perfect, but I have a clear favorite--young Hutton. He's so confused, so pained, intelligent and vulnerable, I ached for him. Since I never read the book, I spent most...
...walked into the basement of Memorial Hall and passed by all the offices of different organizations. You see, I have had some frightening experiences with some people who were dedicated racists, and so the AAA, BSA, Young Democrats, Young Republicans, International Relations Council, GSA, Christian Fellowship, etc. offices all seemed to say to me, "Yes, we can maintain our individual identities and work side by side, harmoniously, with those of different backgrounds and principles." I painted with a smile on my face...
