...team defense has been our strong point all year," Harvard coach Bob Scalise commented. "One guy gets beat and another guy is always there to back him up. They've kept us in games right from the beginning when we held Hopkins (which averages over 18 goals per game) to 11 goals," he added...
Later in the week came Georges Séguy, leader of the huge Communist-dominated C.G.T. (General Confederation of Labor), Communist Party Chief Georges Marchais, and Robert Fabre, head of the Left Radical Party that had been allied with the Socialists and Communists in the elections. Séguy's "demands" came straight out of the handbook of inflation: across-the-board salary increases, including a 37% hike in the minimum wage to $520 a month, and increases in pensions and other social benefits.

...about it, but it's a very mischievous system designed not to achieve but to frustrate the truth," declares New York City Lawyer Abraham Pomerantz.

There's no bite to it and nothing...
...rather dubious war goals. It is a question, of course, that runs thoughout the movie, right from the opening scene in which a bunch of handicapped vets, lounging around a pool table, are discussing whether they'd go again if they had the chance to do it over. One guy explains why he would, much to the disbelief of his companions, and much of the rest of the movie is devoted to showing why his reasons, and the assumptions behind them, are bankrupt. But the underlying question is what can we do to end the ignorance, misperceptions, and repressions...
