Furthermore, the Jox below-the-belt tactics reveal a truly insidious mentality thriving in the Mass Hall gang. Witness the following conversation held at Monday's encounter: "Mr. Steiner, where did the money come from for the roses?" "Those things have a way of taking care of themselves." What this reveals about the Bok Administration is that a slush fund exists, guised in the legitimacy of the Harvard budget, for the continuation of Harvard's male chauvinist tradition.

The plot is a congenial sort of caper about a gang of aging delinquents (Lino Ventura, Jacques Brel, Charles Denner, Charles Gerard, Aldo Maccione) who hire themselves out for all kinds of elaborate political thuggery. Since ideology cannot be stashed in a numbered Swiss account, it plays no part in their addled schemes, which include kidnaping a Swiss diplomat and hijacking...
