...interest of the employee does not, in either the long run or short run benefit by the capitalist relationship. However, there are segments who can be co-opted by the capitalist system. Thus there ensues the comedy of former Steelworker's President MacDonald proposing perpetual harmony between labor and management, or the charade of George Meany supporting a war which cannot but hurt the working people of this country. Never, however, can the entire working class be bought off for any period of time. Not only the external pressures of a world more and more unsusceptible to exploitation...
THESE ARE THE DAMNED. Goose bumps abound at an English coastal resort, where Director Joseph Losey (The Servant) brings his razzle-dazzle skills to bear on a heavily guarded secret project that is infiltrated by a tourist (MacDonald Carey) and a trollop (Shirley Anne Field...
...civilization that is described by the instructor as "the same one I'd teach Yale seniors." They are particularly quick at grasping ideas about conflict and tragedy in literature.

Mailer rants, Stone pleads, and gadfly MacDonald flits through the President's arts festival taking signatures on an anti-war petition. One might imagine that the radicals, if such they are, are hugely relieved to be once again in unqualified opposition to a hostile government and not cursed with the opportunity, however slight, of realizing the megalomaniacal tendencies that Mr. Lasch detects but does not name. Praise God, the autonomy of "culture...
