However. More men. The hell of it is it's encounters with men like these that make me think of the march tonight, the clenched fist, being a Radcliffe student at Harvard University. Better if I talked to the tired woman waiting with closed eyes for this morning's F train to Brooklyn. Better if I talked to myself; I understand, but my head does not. (Who taught my mother to iron so well?) Whoever it was, they're more sophisticated now: my little sister isn't told don't be too smart, you'll scare the boys away...

When pressed to talk about the plight of McLucas, Newton declaimed about conditions in Angola and the Panthers' communications with Hanoi. The real issue, however, was much closer to home. McLucas, 24, is the first of eight Panthers, Scale among them, to be tried...
...movie does have one striking attribute: actors with real faces. Jeremy Kemp as a Down-Underhanded tout displays all seven sins between his forehead and his chin. Stanley Baker looks like a fist with sideburns. Michael Crawford is Buster Keaton redivivus...
