...after all, for someone fresh from the nerve center of an Eastern college, an awfully confused alienation. His father asks, "Well, what do you want?" and a mumbling "I don't know" is the most he manages. This in '67 when anti-war protest was at its heyday! The Beats who issued position papers in the 50s had a much clearer idea of what they were rejecting. Moreover, the movie obfuscates the fundamental question it asks--what is Benjamin Braddock to do with his life?--with a fairy tale convention--love tried, tested and won, to be carried...

Instead of carving the empire into its functional parts-production, refining and marketing-Roberts says, "the Government split it along geographical lines, thus making every successor company vertically integrated." In fact, five of the charged firms -Exxon, Standard of Indiana, Mobil, Atlantic Richfield and Standard...
...heyday, King's S.C.L.C. could raise as much as $2,000,000 for one year's operating expenses, primarily by skillful use of one of the country's best mailing lists (208,000 names) aimed at white liberals in the North. But public interest in civil rights waned, and this year, after radical staff cuts and a sharp paring of field projects, S.C.L.C. was trying to operate on a budget of $500,000.
