Negligible as a piece of film making, The Strawberry Statement is an interesting study in Hollywood exploitation, a classic "rip-off," as kids these days refer to robbery.

A few more films like Getting Straight (TIME, May 18) and The Strawberry Statement, and students may begin occupying what is left of MGM's offices instead...

Often companies refer addicts whom they fire to clinics or rehabilitation centers, where prospects for total recovery are dim. Public clinics and centers in New York City, for example, tend to concentrate on the needs of ghetto youths whose addiction is linked to deprivation and despair.

Also worrisome are the "monkeys," as the moles refer to the camouflaged Egyptian snipers who perch in 60-ft. eucalyptus trees across the canal. At one fort, a sniper plinked away whenever an Israeli headed for a shower. The commander knew that artillery would be of little use; 105-mm. howitzers had been tried before, but only made the trees sway. Besides, the shells cost $85 apiece. One morning...
