...rallies under such titles as "Countdown '72," "Register for a New America" and "Register for Peace" offer some interesting arithmetic. If only 50% of the young eligibles vote, and if they go 2-to-l Democratic, they could swing nine states, including vote-heavy California, New Jersey and Ohio, to give the Democratic candidate a substantial majority of 337 electoral votes. Of the under-21 voters already registered, variously estimated from 500,000 to 1,000,000, about 60% have enrolled as Democrats and 30% as Republicans...

...Jobs. Van Peebles was born 38 years ago on Chicago's South Side. He is no ghetto dropout, but a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University. A photographer friend turned him on to film making, and Van Peebles made several shorts, which he tried to parlay into a film job in Hollywood. He was offered two: elevator operator and parking-lot attendant. Meanwhile, Henri Langlois of the prestigious French Cinemathèque, the largest depository of film and film history in the world, saw some of his pictures and invited him to Paris. Langlois showed the films...
