Unfortunately, the film takes frequent detours into the realms of paranoia and blind hatred. There is a portrait of a white Italian cop (Don Gordon) so foamingly, arbitrarily vicious that it moves beyond believability into hysteria. That is the worst territory possible for a social documentary, albeit a fictional...
...presidential primary drive, Miller had served as chief of the Justice Department's Criminal Division when Kennedy was Attorney General. There he became acquainted with many members of the present Jaworski staff, including James Neal, who will head the prosecution team in the conspiracy trial. A frequent guest at Kennedy's Hickory Hill estate, the gregarious, pun-loving Miller retained his Republican credentials by running, unsuccessfully, for Lieutenant Governor of Maryland in 1970.

All three submersibles were also bothered by minor mechanical difficulties; Alvin's final two dives had to be scrubbed because of an electrical problem. Even so, the performance...

Before 1970, when the council did not exist, all the Faculty's business was hammered out in meetings that got longer, more frequent and more political as student activism at Harvard increased. Now, the meetings are infrequent and almost all the legislation the Faculty considers has been prepared beforehand by the council, so things run with an almost eerie smoothness...
