...graying at the temples, regularly peers east to assess the future, to note where today's advances are going for finishing touches. For its part, the zealous student-nation, famous for raiding others' inspirations, has all but run out of models. The model is itself. Looking outward, Japan sees what it has become since Hiroshima: a source of fury and wonder to Western industries; a pressure point in the U.S.-Soviet staring match; a power without arms. Looking inward, Japan sees old ways shaken and new ones moving at so hectic a pace that the nation...
...addition to tutoring, food programs and teach-ins concerning the effect of military spending on social services, the Seymour Society this year helped organize a local march against drug usage.

Oklahoma in the 1960s, and their hangouts are playgrounds and drive-ins instead of subway stations. But the outward toughness and underlying sorrow is the same. By following the agonizing predicaments of three young greasers, the film confronts a startling yet age-old reality many adolescents finding themselves inexplicably cast in on-good roles, reflexively challenge authority because it's the only thing they know. One after-noon for Tulsa's greasers trio...
