...future, as he always had. At one time, a partial list of projects included two full-length historical films. One would concern Tories vs. Loyalists, the other the age of revolution. Both would be "mystical," "Virgilian" epics of a "prenatal nation." These were in addition to an "antiCommunist manifesto," a "new form of movie short roughly equivalent to the lyric poem," and some "pieces of writing whose rough parallel is the prophetic writing of the Bible...

...author is torn between writing a history, a policy paper and a manifesto--and each section suffers be cause of his confusion. His history of children and youth is filled with amazing generalizations and couched in infantile language. With sentences like "children were an important part of what was happening in the American colonies," and "'make love, not war' was a popular '60s slogan, and many people did," Loiry sabotages his own credibility as a serious scholar.
