...variance with the view, widely held among intellectuals, of barbarously overarmed Americans, a nation of William Galleys, doing battle against the frail, gentle, long-suffering Vietnamese. Cimino's victims are the rambunctious guys from Clairton, blue-collar heroes who took their wholesome patriotism to Viet Nam and there found themselves alone, morally adrift among savage Southeast Asian exotics who are forever forcing them to play Russian roulette. There is no record or recollection, incidentally, that the game was ever played during the American years in Viet Nam, although some old hands recall a few episodes...
...seek--seek and ye shall find. Schaller baits a cat, and though he doesn't see that one, he later sees another one. Buddhism preaches just the opposite--ready yourself and it will come, you will perceive. These two tenets ensnare Matthiessen. He is too locked into his new-found Buddhist ways to question them.

The tourists shops and gaudy "art" galleries that sprang up at the end of the 60's (actually a few years earlier, when people found out that Dylan lived there) are gone now, and the village has, in return, regained much of its appeal...
...real threat to the integrity and freedom of American academic life. Here lies the real menace to privacy as the agency delves into the individual's past to collect incriminating details if the students does not cooperate. One wonders how many of those 2000-3000 foreign students will be found on the Harvard campus this year...
