Against that physically and functionally immovable object last week surged a self-proclaimed irresistible force of 35,000 ranting, chanting protesters who are immutably opposed to the U.S. commitment in Viet Nam. By the time the demonstration had ended, more than 200 irresistibles had been arrested, 13 more had been injured, and the Pentagon had remained immobile. Within the tide of dissenters swarmed all the elements of American dissent in 1967: hard-eyed revolutionaries and skylarking hippies; ersatz motorcycle gangs and all-too-real college professors; housewives, ministers and authors; Black Nationalists in African garb-but no real African nationalists...

I have seen no proof that there is any connection...
...film's stately pace sometimes grinds to a standstill. As Hardy did, Schlesinger relies on the countryside to give the story its character. Benign or brooding, the huge hillocks and gun-metal skies gradually engulf the people and dwarf even their grandest moments. At last, every object of admiration-including Julie Christie, whose sensual beauty has never been more sensuously photographed-is made to be only a mere and minor part of England's green, unpleasant land...
