...real drama is psychological. Competitive Tennesseans Karen and Mark Glenn squabble with each other and with the Clunes--well-off, whiny Californians who sneak in food and gear, rationalizing that pioneers would have cheated to survive if they could have. (The Brookses, a young interracial couple, are neighborly and mellow, and thus get relatively little screen time.) The couples clash over purity of lifestyle, rules and personalities, all within a context of earnest communitarianism. It's like the most fractious food co-op ever...

As Bogle observes, Jeffries and his light-skinned leading ladies were the "whites" in these films; the supporting roles were taken by dark-skinned comics like Mantan Moreland...
...caught getting high--laws strenuously enforced by Bloomberg's predecessor, Rudy Giuliani. Bloomberg stressed that he will continue to enforce the marijuana laws, and is not happy that NORML is using his quote. But he said he would respect the group's First Amendment right to run it. How mellow...
