...first meeting, the council formed ten subgroups, each to deal with specific problem areas such as crime, housing, welfare and mass transit. "The American national Government," said Nixon, "has responded to urban concerns in a haphazard, fragmented and often woefully shortsighted manner." He challenged the council to change all that with firm, coordinated policy recommendations. The President also assigned Budget Director Robert Mayo to draw up proposals for allocating federal funds after Viet...
...Defense Department have proposed that the U.S. ignore confessions altogether. They argue that P.O.W.s should sign anything, as long as they do not divulge classified military information or imperil other prisoners. A well-publicized official policy to this effect would drain confessions of any real significance, in the manner of the disclaimer that preceded the Government's own "confession" last month that the Pueblo was inside North Korean waters...
...Harvard community, but these responsibilities are not best met by drawing up a list of "community problems" and then urging the President and Fellows to "do something." From time to time--as when a great civil rights leader is senselessly murdered--the instinct to act in this manner becomes almost irresistible. But it would be a mistake. Harvard cannot solve most of the problems that face us, nor can it always act collectively to make a contribution toward their solution. It is too easy to arose false hopes and to stimulate unrealizable expectations. There have been many calls to action...

Alvise's energetic forays in his wheelchair are photographed in a manner heavily reminiscent of Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Like Roman Polanski, Samperi likes to use objects as characters (a necktie, a rifle, a vase), and his consuming interest in role playing and destruction through domination is almost pure Pinter. Unlike Pinter, however, Samperi fails to draw his characters in full proportion. Even if the viewer can accept Alvise's sadistic madness, he can never be sure just what...
