...acclaimed role in Carnal Knowledge as a result). Nor was 32-year old Gary Lockwood entirely credible as a Harvard SDS leader. "Jesus, if they hadn't cast it from a geriatric ward we'd have had half a chance." As it was the film got mired in a morass of Hollywoodism. "But I got to meet Quinn, who is a real original and I admire Kramer though our bomb was of the multi-megaton variety...
...Harvard, the strike and antiwar actions have veered from the central issue of the Indochina war. In fact, Nixon's bombing of the North has been frequently neglected, lost in a morass of university-oriented issues. The strike as it is currently constituted should end. There is no real base of student support for its continuation. But we should go on working in whatever ways possible to end America's reign of terror in Southeast Asia.

In Marcia Haydée (Carmen), Richard Cragun (the Toreador) and Egon Madsen (Don José), Cranko could field a trio whose ability to project feeling into narrative ballet can hardly be matched. What went wrong was the music. Scorning Bizet, Cranko got German Composer Wolfgang Fortner to produce a dreadful, cacophonous "Bizet collage" incapable of sustaining any nuance of emotion. Worse, the score picked...
