...they start leafletting in Harvard Square tomorrow. They even had this interview with Malcolm McDowell tacked on the wall. It ticked me off.

He called it naturalist cinema and a whole lot of other intellectual chicken shit. What really killed me was when he called this god awful mediocre rock and roll band that strikes up about every ten minutes through the movie a Greek chorus, for chrissake.

Canadian Writer-Poet-Naturalist Sir Charles G.D. Roberts' Red Fox, written in 1905 and often reprinted, is the third...
...parties range from far left to far right (one is even called the National Reactionary Movement), but some are a bit difficult to categorize ideologically. In addition to the Association of Free Merchants and the Autonomous Party of Pensioners, for instance, there is the all-nudist Naturalist Movement, whose candidate this year is Model Anna Maria Martini, 25. Proponents of acid rock, free sex, abortion and legalized marijuana can line up behind the Ippi (hippie) Party's candidate, Angelo Quattrocchi...
