Essentially, Freedom. That book, and all of Solzhenitsyn's life and work, place him at the passionate focal point of the major issue that inflames dissent and frightens the men in the Kremlin today. The issue is Stalinism, the "past that is clawing to pieces our present days," as Soviet Writer Lydia Chukovskaya expressed it in a letter which circulated underground earlier this year...
...soon as its plans were made public 31 years ago, the $6,750,000 Garden State Arts Center near New Bruns wick became the pride of New Jersey. Focal point of it all was a 5,000-seat outdoor amphitheater designed by Edward Durell .Stone, 66, and to everyone's embarrassment, the very first performance in the craterlike theater was nearly washed out when a spring storm caused a flood backstage.

We imagine, in watching these films, committees of students in a think-tank saying "Hey, I've got a good idea for a film..." at best, and probably...
...where the boy alters the light conditions of a room by playing meditatively with the settings on a three-way bulb. Herba makes difficult things look easy; Stranger, for its effortless appearance, is remarkably stylized, proving an entirely successful blend of hand-held and static movement, zoom and fixed-focal-length photography, day-and-night and interior-and-exterior footage--a true synthesis which creates a film reality...
