...penance, recalling workers to the nonviolent roots of their movement." Although he in sisted that his decision was essentially a private one, the fast took on a certain circus aura and raised suspicions that its motivation was more theatrical than theological. During the fast, Chavez had to make a court appearance in Bakersfield, on charges of improper picketing, in a case that has yet to come to trial. As he did so, 2,000 farm workers knelt outside in prayer. One woman solemnly asked him if he were indeed a saint. When the fast ended, Senator Robert Kennedy knelt next...

Most food flights flown by civilian crews have been grounded until flight rules can be worked out that are agreeable to both combatants.

Vision to Inspire. Any director must master formidable complexity. He must be adept at sound and camera work, a soother of egos, a cajoler of artistic talent. A great director has something more: the vision and force to make all these disparate elements fuse into an inspired whole.
