...instrument's ability to capture incredibly fine detail and texture has made it a necessary tool of the avant-garde cameraman, and its mastery a challenge he must meet. (All the pictures in this exhibit, except Rubinfien's, were taken with it.) Leaving, as Lifson says, "no place to hide," the superclarity of the camera's vision lends these pictures an uncanny surrealism. The trees in Wing's pictures, or Germano's, have leaves that are leafier than any your eyes perceive. To see like this is frighteningly immediate and imminent; it's like hearing the grass grow...
...issue of the perpetuation of racist stereotypes cannot hide behind the cry of "freedom," as Prof. Kilson, the Lampoon editors, and others have tried to do. We are not at a point in our history when racism and discrimination are no longer issues and when we can all "afford to laugh" at the stereotypes of the "past." What next in the name of "freedom"? The resurrection of black-face humor...
...Martin Kilson, there are very few Afro-Americans who can afford to hide in the soap-bubble sanctuary of Harvard tenure and launch attacks against those who are acting for change. What have you done for Afro-American students in your years here, Prof. Kilson? How are you tackling the "massive problems," except by serving as a voice of backlash and reaction attacking progressive Afro-American students...
Unfortunately, in the second act Berger stumbles, failing to maintain his revealing characterizations. He resolves his psychodrama in the most facile manner.

Just as they hide their feelings for women, they submerge their love for each other. The frustrated lovers transfer their apprehension about homosexuality to their heterosexual relationships. It is too easy a solution. The candle that emitted illuminating rays in the first act has burned down to leave only an amorphous mass...
Jimmy Carter made no effort to hide his feelings. The "horrible murders" of an archbishop and two Cabinet ministers in Uganda, he said during his press conference, "have disgusted the entire civilized world." Two days later Uganda's Idi Amin Dada appeared to retaliate by forbidding some 200 Americans to leave his country and summoning them to a meeting this week. Most Amin watchers expected that he would inflict nothing more drastic than oratory and theatrics on the Americans; he himself issued reassurances. But with the unstable dictator, no one could be sure...
