After the showing, Marshall R. Kaplan, who spearheaded the student picketing and was present at the demonstrations, charged that the film was inaccurate and cited its "errors...
Rioting began, the film narration claims, when a student jumped the picket line and hit a policeman with his own nightstick. This alleged assault was never actually pictured on the film, Kaplan pointed out. He added that the policeman himself admitted that he was not attacked at the beginning of the riot, though he was jumped about ten minutes later...

There is such a thing as eyestrain, Dr. Kaplan conceded, and he defined it as "the sum of the discomforts from overuse or from uncorrected (by glasses) defects of the focusing powers of the eyes"-fatigue of the focusing muscles. Such discomforts, he insisted, cannot damage the organs of sight. If anybody wants to leave his glasses off, that is all right with the permissive Dr. Kaplan, even though "the patient may not see well without them and may consequently fall down steps and break a leg." But that is a problem for the orthopedist, not for the ophthalmologist...
Triggering mechanisms are still more obscure. Stanford University's Radiologist Henry Kaplan has shown that if he gives a dose of X rays to seemingly virus-free mice, they develop cancers containing virus particles. The late Dr. Francisco Duran-Reynals argued that chemicals and viruses combine to cause cancer. Now many laboratories are confirming his basic thesis: mice painted with a low dose of a known carcinogen (cancer-causing chemical) get no tumors, and neither do those exposed only to viruses; but if mice get both the virus and minute amounts of the chemical, many of them soon develop...
