...thin man, within the milquetoast a hero, within the bookkeeper a poet. Within every man, in any case, there seems to lurk an orchestra conductor - ready, at the sound of an 'A', to spring onto a fantasized podium in some glittering concert hall of the mind, drawing rich, powerful music from the players and bravos from an astounded audience. Few laymen get any closer to realizing this dream than wagging a finger behind their program notes, or surreptitiously waving their arms in front of their hi-fi sets. Last week, a 52-year-old physician named Michael Bialoguski...
With a certain desperation, he talks to adults about the rhetoric and euphemisms of Viet Nam. "People get shot every day, and bombed and burned and blown up. But no one cares about that. I mean they don't really mind, because anyway, people aren't really shot; fire is directed at their positions. And they're not really people; they're troops.

If the leading indicators prove correct, some abrupt changes of mind and manner are in prospect...
...make love to the maid, the wife, the industrialist, the daughter and the son of the household. The passion is so indiscriminate and the acting so undisciplined that one half-expects to see the milkman, and perhaps his horse, included in the rutting. But Pasolini has other excesses in mind. When the visitor departs, he leaves behind a shrilling choir of victims. The daughter (Anne Wiazemsky) becomes catatonic; the son, an artist, urinates on his paintings; the wife turns nymphomaniac. The maid becomes a martyr who levitates to prove her sanctity, and the father strips to the buff...
