...anyone who has ever written a letter to the editors already knows, TIME'S weekly contract with its readers does not end once the magazine goes to press. Every one of the 1,000 or more letters that arrive in the mail each week receives a reply from TIME'S Letters Department, which is headed by Maria Luisa Cisneros and staffed by 13 assistants. The letters department also performs a less well-known task: answering the 150 or so letters a week from people requesting information-some additional bit of elaboration or an answer to a question.

...over-the-shoulder air of a heister peddling a hot watch in front of a police station. Among his friends, says one intimate, Johnson cannot help noting that the stock market has gone to hell, inflation is rampant and Nixon has had more men in Viet Nam than L.B.J. ever did.

But his basic role is to nag at Harry and call him (her) a "twit." Be it ever so hurtful, there is no place like home, and in its pathetic way the Charlie-Harry relationship is a bad marriage that works. The law threatens to sever it. Charlie has been apprehended doing a transvestite turn in a gay club, and must appear in court. Like gentle, trapped and panicky...
...autumnal and winter landscapes that give the whole story an aura of aching desolation. Despite a few false steps (like a love scene between Alice and Shelly played with a garage air hose), Alice's Restaurant is one of the best and most perceptive films about young people ever made in the U.S. It is, as they themselves would say, very much together...
