Demanding Fukki. Both in Tokyo and the Okinawan capital of Naha, Okinawans held demonstrations too, but of a far more purposeful and peaceful nature. In Naha, about 20,000 showed up to hear Chief Executive Chobyo Yara and Shinei Kyan, head of the Council for the Return of Okinawa Prefecture to the Fatherland, demand that Okinawa revert to Japanese control. "The more people shout," said Kyan, "the stronger will be public opinion for our goal." Shouting is hardly needed to convince most Okinawans: Yara was elected last November on a platform demanding fukki, or immediate reversion. Yara has no illusions...
...others are joining student rebels in disrupting their own universities. Worse, the faculty split reflects a division that afflicts intellectuals far beyond the campus. Never before have U.S. intellectuals enjoyed such affluence and celebrity, yet never before have they so vilified one another for "complicity with the Establishment."

...next four shows in the series, taped last spring at weekly intervals, resemble Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Returning members of the studio audience discuss their withdrawal symptoms ("It was a bath of fire," moaned one man) and other problems (weight gain, anxiety). They also hear testimonials from ex-smokers. In addition, to make his message more visual and urgent, Frederickson projects film of cancer-riddled lungs or of an emphysema patient who does not have enough breath to blow out a match. From time to time, a Laugh-In-style "crawl" message crosses the bottom of the TV screen with...
