...Friedberg, Sack's vice-president, film expert, and resident visionary, sees it, "automated theatres, automatic ticket purchasing, and even automated transportation to and from theatres will be introduced. The film patron will have the advantage of knowing that every film being shown has been pretested as to its effect, impact, and pleasurability. There won't be any 'bad' movies. Motion pictures will be fitted to the patron's personality." Perhaps, the Czechs were correct to suggest at Expo '67 that movies could ultimately depend on the audience. For if the audience is allowed to determine the twists of a movie...
...basic reason why Columbia and B.U. won't happen at Harvard is because students here don't think that the University is important enough. They don't feel that the University has enough impact on people like themselves to make it a channel for social change. Harvard students have been so persuaded of their own intelligence that they are not awed by professors, or by almost any thing about the University. This attitude, I think, is quite different from that of almost every other university...
Upset by the furor, Chicago's Daley later tried to ameliorate the psychological impact of his kill-and-maim statement. "There wasn't any shoot-to-kill order," he said lamely.

...beleaguered, it is only understandable. All winter long, he and other TV newsmen have been warding off a chilly gale of complaints from Senators, Congressmen, city officials, policemen and viewers in general. The most frequent charge leveled by the critics is that television, with its vast reach and visual impact, is in a sense the germ carrier that spreads the plague of riots across the U.S. The question, in short, is whether the sight of a Harlem youth hurling a brick through a store window and shouting "Black Power!" induces a ghetto teen ager in Detroit to do the same...
...mean to imply that the department tried to make itself appear more traditionally academic to win Faculty approval. The whole purpose of studying the visual environment is to recognize and create social impact. For example, almost all the projects in the still photography course study either the way people act, the way people have created things, or the way they interact with the things they have created. You are marked on how well you express your idea; so you are graded on an aesthetic. But other departments of the University grade you at least partly on how well you write...
