...student who was able to think straight, compared to one of those A students who are capable of the kind of thinking that winds up getting a 100% increase in crime in this country?" After Roman Hruska finished with it, the argument even had a certain logic-if somewhat upside down and corkscrewed. "There are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers," said the Nebraska Republican. "They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they? We can't have all Brandeises, Frankfurters and Cardozos...
...line is worthy of Groucho, but then so is almost all of the dialogue in The Adventurers. Harold Robbins' peeping tome of love and revolution in a banana republic allowed for no such adornments as taste or logic, and neither does the film, at least not in its original 3-hr., 11-min. version. As a boy, Dax Xenos (Loris Loddi) sees his mother raped by the Fascisti. He swears revenge and years later the adult Dax (Bekim Fehmiu) helps a Castro-style Latin American leader named Rojo (Alan Badel) to survive a bloody uprising...

Saunders, who works with black youths in Chicago, scoffed at Moynihan as "Nixon's straw boss-the deputy in charge of the colored." The New York Times contended that Moynihan's logic is "a sophisticated rationale for racial retrogression." The Chicago Tribune's Walter Trohan, on the other hand, saw "constructive thought and literary merit" in the Moynihan prose. The Wall Street Journal claimed that Moynihan has offered "a fascinatingly perceptive analysis of the nation's present condition...
...FARM is a madhouse of grotesque lunacy, buggery, and violence. It is interesting, visually, but the sequences involving it are far too long relative to its dramatic importance to the rest of the movie. The film version of End of the Road has no internal sense or logic as a unified work. Southern and Avakian have taken Barth's story of marital infidelity in the 1950's and updated both the setting and the themes with disastrous results...
