Cries of outrage should greet the President's blatant grab for more power; instead, we sagely nod our heads and agree that we must sacrifice for the good of the state. Rather than demanding the repeal of the energy price controls that caused the crisis, we blindly resolve to give the Government even more authority over our lives.

Woodstock. This Academy-Award winning documentary can be justifiably dubbed the definitive rock film, with a nod of acknowledgment to the Mayles brothers' Gimme Shelter. The dazzling galaxy of performers who rocked and rolled the assembled 400,000 earned that designation by itself: everybody from John Sebastian to Country Joe and the Fish to Santana put in an appearance over the course of the three-day festival to end all festivals.

In the end, perhaps the best thing that can be said of the interviews is that yes, America--we do have Dick Nixon to hate again...
