...hesitates to consign A Man's A Man to the second category, but it is a relentlessly episodic history of immutably two-dimensional characters. Its message--that the army hampers self-expression--is obvious and overly familiar. Structurally limp, the play begins arbitrarily, and ends at least three times...
...other ways, art has gone beyond all limits. Americans have quickly run through abstract expressionism, action painting, pop, op, kinetic and minimal art. With gravely innocent eye, the public contemplates art consisting of a real chair or a coiled rope, of limp sculpted toilets, of nudes that go through movements of coition.

In the end only five Senators voted against tabling a motion rescinding the 1964 Tonkin Gulf resolution, which had authorized the President to take all necessary action in Southeast Asia...
