Donald Sutherland plays Jesse Veldini, a cheap crook and demolition-derby contestant with a pronounced contempt for private property. "I'm not a criminal, I'm an outlaw," he explains to his occasional paramour Iris (Jane Fonda). Jesse's ambitious brother Frank (Howard Hesseman), who is running for state attorney general, sees it differently. To him, Jesse is not only a public nuisance but a threat to the campaign. Jesse's real interest lies in consorting with a group of benign crazies (Peter Boyle, Garry Goodrow and John Savage) in a plot to get a behemoth...

Children's advocates also urge that juvenile courts should no longer have the authority to enforce so-called incorrigibility statutes, which, like vagrancy laws, are used to sweep the streets of "undesirables." The critics contend that these laws are unconstitutional and should be abandoned, since they outlaw no specific offense and leave their victims unjustifiably incarcerated. Director Joe Henning of the A.B.A. Youth Education for Citizenship program urges a gradation of rights that would encourage children "to undertake more of the responsibilities of citizenship as they grow older."
