...realize the potentials of this altered premise, offering instead an anticlimactic retreat to years-old cliche. The runaways in Chicago come up against syndicate prostitution and car theft, rather than amphetamine suicides, birth control, and police busts. Harold Fine's final disenchantment with his hippie existence is the combined result of (a) sexual jealousy, and (b) revulsion at how dirty hippies are (the screenplay sanctions the first, and seems deeply repelled by the latter), and leaves him at the finale in a limbo audiences would have found preposterous had not The Graduate conned Americans into thinking such endings dramatically justifiable...
WILSON'S STYLES of police behavior are best used as a rough grid to help describe how and why the police of a given community act. As Wilson admits, the styles are not empirically defined, and are more the result of the judicious impressions of his workers in the field. Indeed, the book falters most noticeably when Wilson attempts to use selected tables of arrest statistics to bolster his argument on the styles. The statistics do tend to confirm that the styles exist, but they also lead him into tiresome digressions to explain anomalies in certain of the tables...

The results of improved structural-testing techniques finally persuaded the city engineers that skyscrapers would be safe. With the ceiling abolished, the city's skyline slowly began to rise.

...bring out as many voters as possible, Morse has mobilized one of the strongest political armies in Oregon's history. On all the college campuses McCarthy students have come out to work for Morse's re-election. A few of the McCarthy stalwarts, however, are boycotting Morse as a result of his strong endorsement of Vice President Humphrey. Nevertheless, Morse supporters are counting on McCarthy-style house-to-house campaigning, along with some heavy spending on TV & advertising to pull Oregon's old populist through the toughest campaign he has ever fought...
