...video-verite style of America's Most Wanted is duplicated in The Street, a fictional series about Newark cops on the beat. The wandering camera and washed-out color give the syndicated show a home-movie look, and the plotless half hours are filled, realistically, with long stretches of small talk. But there are also silly interludes of outrageous comedy (a pair of cops cleaning up vomit in the backseat of their squad car try to figure out what the "little yellow things" are) and a rather smug assumption that anything the camera records, no matter how drably "real...
...prominence as the drafter of the 1962 Port Huron Statement, the Magna Charta of the Students for a Democratic Society. Hayden appears to have been something of a crisis junkie, getting adrenaline fixes in confrontations with authority's billy clubs and tear-gas canisters in the Mississippi Delta and Newark, at Columbia and Berkeley. He acquired national notoriety as a demonstration leader at the ill-fated Democratic Convention of 1968, which led to his trial and conviction (subsequently overturned) as a member of the Chicago Seven. Today the proud husband of Jane Fonda pursues his version of the American dream...

And something else -- a facsimile machine that rests on her kitchen cabinet just above little Will's playpen. He is fascinated with its rustling paper, the paper of poetry.

Each of the 18-in. by 4-in. bombs was packed with black powder and lead shotgun pellets; they were designed to attack humans rather than property. "If fired at a gathering of people," said U.S. Attorney Samuel Alito in Newark, "the devices could cause a real massacre...
...legitimate use of physical force. When this monopoly dissolves, the state is in serious trouble. No country sits by quietly while its population riots, and there's no reason to demand that Israel do so. The Parisian police control their "manifestations," the United States put down riots in Newark, Watts, and Detroit in the sixties, and the Nicaraguan government chased the contras into Honduras. If you believe that Israel should exist as a state, you cannot deny its right to act like a state. There is no reason to believe that a Palestinian state would not similarly handle internal opposition...
