...Harvard sent 54 of its members to business school, 242 to law school, and 170 to medical school. Two of its number live in a four story, rambling structure in Arlington Heights known as "The Ranch," a completely distinctive home filled with hours of table hockey played to its limit, five dollar fines for every minute missed of a daily episode of All My Children, and debates on the relative abilities of Sherlock Holmes and Columbo. The overriding feature of 46 Westminster Avenue, however, is good music. This is the home of Special Care, a group comprised of Harvard...
...film's poor direction will limit its exposure is much as its volatile content. Winter Soldier lacks both imagination and precision functioning at the same level of artistry as a small-town newscast. It was produced by a film collective proud to work without a director, but unfortunately no one made the essential decisions about thematic development and continuity. The interviews reach no conclusions, and convey the mood of "Meet the Press" rather than an important political meeting. Only one veteran breaks the monotony of disconnected testimony by showing the relationship between his Vietnam experiences and his current life...
These artistic shortcomings will seriously limit the film's success in persuading uninformed audiences to recognize the war's horror.

To be successful any film about the Vietnam War must overcome a great deal of ingrained prejudice and insensitivity in its audience. Winter Soldier attempts to do this, but fails to fully accomplish its task. We still await a film which, by combining the war's anguish and futility with outstanding cinematic form, will oblige America to confront the truth...
...council will limit its investigations to national suppliers of news: the major wire services, weekly newsmagazines, TV networks, national newspapers like the Wall Street Journal, and the news services supplied by such papers as the New York Times. Journalists from these organizations will not sit on the council. A number of foundations will provide a budget of about $400,000 a year...
...uses have changed-the dubious honor of driving the first car in Central Park went to one Winston Buzby in 1898, and the present infestation of buildings and ugly monuments was no part of Olmsted's plan. Today, the character of Central Park is stretched to its elastic limit. But it still survives, and Olmsted's words to his partner Vaux (who got dispirited sometimes) still speak for many New Yorkers: "I have none of your feelings of nauseousness about the park. There is no other place in the world that is as much home...
