...film is worth seeing, both for its isolated insights into the life of an aging easy rider, whose crazing shock-treatment morality has outlived its initial impetus, and for the scenes which point to the possibility of a Pirandellian cinema. From his work here (Schiller credits him with organizing the individual scenes) and in David Holzman's Diary (in which he starred and improvised), Kit Carson seems to be heading towards a purified art, reordering basic human inter-actions with society and environment. The attitudes the film's subject expresses and the values it places on surrounding materials would determine...

The report, popularly known as the Redbook, was drawn up by a group of the finest minds in the country, including historian Paul Buck, classicist John Finley, biologist George Wald, poet I. A. Richards, former Radcliffe president W. K. Jordan, and the senior Arthur Schlesinger...
There are good reasons for the overnight success of waterbeds. Says Storekeeper George Pugh of Long Beach, Calif.: "You can make them rock-and-roll you to sleep." Buyers with bad backs report noticeable relief. But perhaps the greatest impetus to sales has been provided by another remarkable quality of the waterbed. Claims an Aquarius ad: "Two things are better on a waterbed. One of them is sleep." Urges another advertisement: "Live and love in liquid luxury." A third promises: "She'll admire you for your car, she'll respect you for your position...
