...fact, only after Dubček sensed the extent of the nation's misgivings did he and other leaders publicize the real significance of the showdown. Six thousand party workers from all across the country were called into Prague for briefings on the conferences. The press, which had been asked by the regime to tone down its anti-Soviet polemics, ran reassuring editorials. "The sovereignty of Czechoslovakia has remained and will remain untouched," wrote Lidová Demokracie, a Prague daily. Dubček, again on radio and TV, spoke to his people. "Fears about any secret deal are unfounded...
Circus Side. NBC this year took a hard-news approach. The only real news, the network obviously decided, was the shifting of votes between Front Runner Nixon and his opposition. But since there was very little "erosion," as possible vote shifts were invariably called, NBC viewers had to watch two days of model reporting in pursuit of a nonstory. CBS, on the other hand, tended to cover voting trends offscreen. Canvassing every single delegate, some since February, the network organized a running "CBS News Delegate Count."

The older, more obvious and far more common interpretation, of course, is that reality in art is achieved by copying "real life." Stirred by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg, a mini-renaissance of this older school is taking place...
Meanwhile, a pictorial record of what was allegedly the real thing is on display in Revolution, a cinéma vérité documentary made on the San Francisco scene last summer. There is acid rock by such groups as the Quicksilver Messenger Service and Mother Earth. There are shots of long-haired nymphets looking stoned, solemn interviews with cops, doctors, and headshrinkers about the dangers of drugs, and interminable expositions of hippie philosophy by unbathed gurus. Apparently for the benefit of grind-house voyeurs, there is also some totally nude choreography-filtered through eye-blasting psychedelic lighting-danced...
