Tristana is the ward of a graying voluptuary, Don Lope (Fernando Key). Lope is an aristocrat, an atheist and a hypocrite-three distinct personalities that Rey manages to portray simultaneously. As his money and his vigor recede, Don Lope pursues the bewildered girl and overtakes her. Once seduced, Tristana is a figure of metastasizing vengeance. When she becomes the mistress of a young artist (Franco Nero), Don Lope shouts in misery, "I prefer tragedy to ridicule . . ." The girl awards him both. Her flight with the artist is ended by a disease that costs her a leg. Convalescing in the house...

The keynote was sounded by the Chicago Seven's Tom Hayden, who told a San Fernando Valley State College audience: "We turned out over a million people for the Moratorium last fall, and the Establishment's response was to congratulate us because there was no violence. That wasn't the goal. The goal was to end the war. Demonstrations will not stay peaceful...
Dead Orange. Besides the lectures, Earth Day planners scheduled stunts to dramatize various aspects of the environmental crisis. As a warning of impending famine caused by the world's rising population, San Fernando State College students were organized to prepare tea and rice to give people a taste of a "hunger diet." Students at several other colleges and schools were ready to collect bottles and aluminum cans cluttering the landscape-and then to conduct "dump-ins" on the steps of city halls or manufacturers' plants...
