...years ago, McCall talked of forming a "Third Force" in American Politics--outside of, yet competing against, the two party system. Whether the idea has amounted to anything, or whether it merely represented the vague ramblings of a frustrated Ralph Nade is unclear. But McCall will be speaking in Piper Auditorium on April 18 at 8 p.m., and he may throw some light on where he and his hoped-for movement are going...
...airplanes. Seven years ago, he received a license to open India's third motorcar company, one which would produce cars for the "small man." Except for a few experimental models, the automobiles never went into production. Instead Sanjay used his license to become a dealer for International Harvester and Piper Airplanes, activities no doubt more lucrative but certainly less legal...
...Carrie White. This specimen of faith-gone-fanatic seems straight out of Jonathan Edwards's congregation, dividing her time between spreading the Good Word among the suburban heathen and tormenting her daughter at the slightest hint of sin rearing its ugly head within Carrie. Mrs. White (played by Piper Laurie) has plainly left her mark on Carrie (played by Sissy Spacek); naive almost beyond belief, Carrie is utterly traumatized by the experience of her first period in the gym shower (as a high school senior, no less) in the opening scene. She cannot find relief from the mockery...

...picture opens. Carrie -played with consummate craft by Sissy Spacek, who was so fine in Badlands-could not be a more hopeless case. She is the child of a religious fanatic (Piper Laurie) who is sexually repressed to the point of madness. Carrie does not even know about menstruation and when, in her high school locker room, she gets her period for the first time, she becomes hysterical. Turning to the other girls for help, she is instead turned upon and abused in what may be the most terrifying demonstration of the adolescent capacity for mass cruelty ever filmed...
