...approach, some members carrying Molotov cocktails. Police and civilian witnesses differ on who opened fire first, but shooting broke out. Some of the firing apparently was done by Broussard and another jittery grocery-store owner, Sidney Forman. When the shooting was over, three blacks were wounded and a fourth lay motionless under a street lamp for more than two hours; both police and residents feared to present themselves as targets in the light. The man, Kenneth Borden, 24, was dead when residents finally reached him. Sporadic violence, mostly firebombings, continued nightly in and outside the project, as the death...
Though his own black denomination (and indeed his congregation) is basically middle class, Calvin Marshall sees no anomaly in preaching a radical Gospel. He is chairman of the Black Economic Development Conference, whose field director, James Forman, stunned U.S. churches and synagogues last year with a Black Manifesto demanding "reparations" of $500 million for the years of suffering that blacks endured at white hands, and the years of neglect by white churches.

...Nemec's Report on the Party and its Guests comes in the aftermath of a Czech film craze, but it's a more difficult work than those we've been used to: unlike the descriptive approaches of a Forman or a Menzel, Report is a highly stylized film, philosophically abstract and frankly allegorical. Nemec's earlier work, such as Diamonds of the Night , lacked these elements, so much of the credit for Report must lie with co-scenarist Ester Krumbachova, who also collaborated with Nemec on The Martyrs of Love and with Vera Chytilova on the brilliant Daisies...
Under that format, a team with one strong player advancing through the finals usually won the overall title. Witness the fact that Harvard won the Forman title seven times during this period and six of those it also took the individual title...
