...want to make a personal film about Harvard, what material and methods do you choose? The way this college affects most of its students is very indirect, ideological, non-material. A film about Harvard's concrete, material effects, though a fine political documentary, would be irrelevant to our personal experience. On the other hand, our experience of Harvard depends so much on trivial incidents, details of personal style, facades, momentary impressions about people and situations that creating a coherent plot and characters is very difficult. Most student films fail, and end up extremely subjective...
...most dismal case of Three Thirty Three's skimpiness is the Sports section. It includes but two articles-a routine description of the football season and a confusing skiing story. There are two pages of fine crew pictures, two pages of dull wrestling pictures, two pages of out-of-focus winter track pictures.

Dark violence and piebald absurdity share an uncertain border, and now and then some mythmaker on his day off, like Grubb, manages to write within this uncertainty. A fine book, written for the hell of it, which is a splendid reason...
...night after Martin Luther King's death, Cincinnati had issued a curfew which threatened to punish violators with up to a year in jail and a $500 fine. Though most of those convicted had not heard about the curfew, ninety were processed and sentenced in a bizarre mass trial held the night of the arrests. When Gilligan called the trials a joke, press and public reacted hysterically. "Arson and rape" became the decisive ingredients in his defeat next November...
