...their faith in armed struggle . . . have allowed themselves to be tricked by false ideologies," he said, showing flashes of anger. "Evil is never a road to good! . . .

The audience of 40,000 (no ponchos were allowed for fear of concealed weapons) chanted, "Ayacucho wants peace." The Pope, a bishop said later, seemed to be weeping...

...with political or visual subtlety. Everyone is an oaf but our lad. Mom (Joyce Van Patten) is dithery, and Dad (Pat Hingle) scares the falcon, and Chris' girlfriend (Lori Singer) is one big vacant California erogenous zone. His treason is pinned on mid-America, not so much for the evil of its ways as for the banality of its style. Affluence is flatulence; good intentions are to laugh at; filial piety is worth nothing but betrayal...
