...ignore violence, a phenomenon from which no human being is exempt. Freud held that man has a death instinct that must be satisfied in either suicide or aggression against others. Many modern psychiatrists disagree. Dr. Fredric Wertham, famed crusader against violence, argues that violence is learned behavior, a product of cultural influences such as violent comic books. The violent man, he says, is the socially alienated...
Rarely Hashish. Which side is right? The fact is that although man has been using marijuana or related products for 5,000 years, medical science still knows too little about it. Research-even on animals-is hampered by red tape written into restrictive laws and lack of a standardized natural product...
Water on the Table. Relatively unheralded amid Wall Street's ebullience was the fact that the economy made a record-breaking advance during the first three months of 1968. Gross national product-the nation's total output of goods and services-climbed by about $20 billion as against a previous record of $17.5 billion in the first quarter of 1966. In that seemingly positive development there was a sharply negative point. According to President Johnson's Council of Economic Advisers, that 10%-a-year growth rate is about 21 times as much as the economy can sustain...
...role of the director in the Bazin-Godard-Truffaut mode of movie analysis is filled in a comparably all-important manner by the singer.

The content of the artist's songs is subjugated, and in fact it sometimes becomes difficult to differentiate within the auteur's oeuvre...
...hard to criticize Mr. Moss for his attempt. It may well be that a production truly rooted with Vian's text would only serve to reveal its inadequacy. In any case, the effort to impose a special directorial vision on a play of dubious relevance is as admirable as it is misguided. And this is certainly not the place to question at length whether the horrors of American commercialism can really be satirized by any art work which chooses to borrow the terms of commercialism rather than create terms of its own. Mr. Moss's product is certainly worth...
