Rush to Judgement. An assassination-conspiracy film, the sort of thing that's moving into the mainstream after Cock-burn's Harper's article on the "second gun" theory (which according to my foremost paranoid contact--who was bursting with 'I told you so's'--wasn't considered that good by experts). This one is on the Warren Commission, made by Mark Lane and the same Emilio De Antonio who made In The Year of the Pig and Milhous. At B.U.'s Sherman Auditorium Sunday night at 8 p.m. Lane will be there to show more footage and discuss...
Speaking of paranoia (and with these assassination things it's usually not that the fanatics are more paranoid than the rest of us-only that they bother to study the cases). Anyway, one rumor that's been floating around is that reading period is so short and to the point this year because the administration is trying to alleviate the housing shortage for next term.

...Betts, the community isn't a tight family. That would be too paranoid and insulated. On the record Brothers and Sisters there is no picture of the band, only of an assembled clan of dozens of men and women, many children. On stage, Betts's tour is called "An American Music Show." And it is: on the left side stands the chorus, mostly a black woman who haunts the singing with an urban, Merry-Clayton-in-Gimme-Shelter howl. In the background bobs an electric-haired bass player. On the right stands Vassar Clements, ramrod straight, hair furled and molded...
