...Richards (1833-1905), whose Twilight on the New Jersey Coast might be described as a vision of the archetypal summer sea. Vast and lonely, the painting is devoid of human life. Gently lapping breakers touch the shore, and on the far horizon is a lone ship. On a small patch of beach a gull inspects some flotsam. The ocean is the Atlantic, but it could just as easily be the Indian, the Pacific, or Homer's wine-dark Aegean...
...movie M-A-S-H makes chillingly clear, war, the killing art, and medicine, the healing art, are fundamentally incompatible. Whether to patch the wounded soldier so that he may live to kill again or be killed presents an ethical dilemma to some doctors. Because of this dilemma, Dr. Howard Levy, inducted into the U.S. Army Medical Corps, chose to serve three years in prison at hard labor rather than teach dermatology to a group of Green Berets (TIME, June...
...growing list of endangered species, Walter Hickel should now add the American movie star (Astra americana). Take Julie Andrews-a feat that many people now claim is hard to do. In the '50s, she was My Fair Lady, a patch of sunlight on the American stage. In the '60s, she starred in the most successful film of all time, The Sound of Music. Ah, but then . . . sprinkled with Disney dust in Mary Poppins, way back in 1964 she began to turn into a pillar of sugar. Her marriage came apart, her "big" movie, Star, was the H-bomb...

In Massachusetts, under an 1889 law recently dusted off, two youths have been sentenced to a year each in prison for wearing the flag as a patch on their trousers. At Denver's El Rey shop, customers are returning their flag vests because they cause so much trouble with the police...
...piece of film making, The Strawberry Statement is an interesting study in Hollywood exploitation, a classic "rip-off," as kids these days refer to robbery. The film makers ignored the issue of campus politics (the one real revolutionary is portrayed as a speed freak who wears an eye patch and talks like a paranoid Long John Silver), and produced something that might be called Andy Hardy Gets Busted. A few more films like Getting Straight (TIME, May 18) and The Strawberry Statement, and students may begin occupying what is left of MGM's offices instead of the campus administration...
