...wonder. I also wonder how such excitable young men as Jay Cocks and Paul Zimmerman, able to praise Frank Perry or Paul Williams as film masters at a moment's notice, acquired positions at Time and Newsweek held by tougher fellows long ago--James Agee and John O'Hara. Or, why doesn't Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. deem film important enough to bring some of his secular history to it to make for a relevant panache?

Unlike the other reviews. [MORE] has tried to stake out a national constituency, since New York is the publishing center for the magazine industry...
...still the students sleep. Time and Newsweek call it apathy, or "the new mood on campus." Perhaps Nixon's Vietnamization program has succeeded in de-Vietnamizing America and the colleges. It has made the war seem more distant: our friends are no longer being killed, our war is being fought by mercenaries and computers, our televisions speak of the economy and China...
