...souped-up orange Pontiac sports car, the character called "GTO ' picks up half a dozen strays. As each hitchhiker gets into the bucket seat beside him, GTO shrewdly sizes him up and, chameleonlike, takes on a completely new identity, one that he hopes will impress his listener. Spinning out fantasies about imaginary pasts, GTO becomes by turns a gambler, a television producer, a racer, a war hero. The role of GTO in the movie Two Lane Blacktop calls for virtuoso acting, and gets it-from a 43-year-old veteran of a hundred movie and television westerns named Warren...

...happen to avoid arrest, don't come back here crying 'repression!' and try to stir up Act Two of your kind of revolution. Some trashing and some attempts at stirring up the campus proletariat have gotten to be routine around here and they don't impress anybody. The activities of last week made up a legitimate and resounding demand for an immediate end to America's latest bungling overseas caper. The kind of stuff planned for next week will do nothing but detract from the impact of last week's march and veterans...
