TIME'S cover story this week examines the nation's newest-and of course oldest-freedom fighter, the American Indian, who is now seeking the means for protest and redress after more than a century of patience and passivity.

It shows a list of all the things which are banned in Greece today. But this tacked-on ending is artistically unacceptable and contradicts the tone of the film...
...that have thrust forward his relatively conservative politics are inflation and crime. If he solves both problems, the saliency of the issues will diminish and the voter will go back to attaching more weight to the liberal issues?and may vote Democratic as a result. If Nixon does not redress inflation and cut crime, then the country may turn even more conservative?to George Wallace?particularly if the Viet Nam War is viewed as a defeat...
