...Dupea, the runaway pianist of Five Easy Pieces, Craig is spiritually disenfranchised, in flagrant rebellion against his class. Craig revels in the funky spirit at the Olympic, and Rafelson, with his offbeat sense of humor, his knack for visual surprise, turns the spa into a suitably shabby field of honor. Joe Santo trains for the Mr. Universe competition by pressing weights in a Batman getup. The owner of the Olympic, a toupeed madman who calls himself Thor Erickson (R.H. Armstrong), spies on Mary Tate through a peephole in the floor, finally goes berserk after inhaling a noseful of poppers...
...Cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal nor tolerate those who do." So states the honor code at the United States Military Academy at West Point. This week trials begin for 49 cadets, each of whom will try to prove to a board of Army officers that, in fact, he did not breach the code while preparing a homework assignment. The cheating scandal, the largest at West Point since 1951, when more than half the football team was involved, has rocked the academy's self-image, while raising serious questions about the code...

Those of the 49 cadets tried and found guilty will be dismissed unless either the Superintendent of the Academy or the Secretary...

When asked to vote on the issue last February, 55% of the cadet corps were in favor of easing the code if there were mitigating circumstances. The measure failed to carry, however, because it fell short of the required two-thirds majority...
...trials could go on until August. In the meantime, the 49 accused cadets are living a normal West Point existence. They are not being officially shunned, because the traditional punishment of silence-which forbade other cadets to eat or speak with anyone who had violated the honor code-was abolished in 1973. "No one is talking about bringing that back," said Brigadier General Walter F. Ulmer Jr., commandant of cadets. But, he added, "I'm sure there are individual cadets who will decide not to go to a movie or a restaurant with those 49." Says one of their...
