Vietnam was so cataclysmic that it changed, for a few years, everything. Everything. From it grew rage, but more importantly questions and, sometimes, creative answers. From it grew thinking and, in some ways less important, involvement. For the only time in our lives, people were unhappy with all the world, and still hopeful for it. It was a time of potent men and women, who were going to create the world anew...

And in the wake of the Reagan shooting, when he seemed to be wearing his presidential aspirations right there on his sleeve--in place of his military stripes--the rage of Washington began to look more and more like a soon-to-be-out rage...

Once on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list for her participation in the 1969 "Days of Rage" demonstrations in Chicago, Boudin no longer faced federal charges, but was liable for prosecution in Illinois for jumping bail.

Incensed at Mabel for questioning whether she is indeed the right woman for Lawrence, Freida launches into a tirade. Her incoherent anger, her rage at abandoning her children 12 years before, the passion so clearly emerging from character development, make us sympathize with this wild woman, and feel her anguish. Suzman's Freida, a Valkyrie of flesh and fire, comes across as The Real Thing, making Lawrence seem The Flaccid Thing all the more...
