...white. I got a record." It has all happened too many times before. Even the cop investigating the accident sees the police as actors with prescribed roles, "If we arrest the Black kid, we're racists. If we arrest the white kid, we're starting a race riot. If we arrest nobody, we're a bunch of jerks...
...wasn't--that kind of night. Harvard bolted to a 4-2 lead on goals by Michael Watson (2), Greg Olson and Neil Sheehy. But Yale, playing a much more restrained physical game than the near-riot at Cambridge a week ago, stormed back with three third-period goals: Dave Williams tallying to make it 4-3, Steiner equalizing, and Dan Poliziani's bullet beating Lau at 11:34 for the 5-4 Yale lead.

...Social Democrats' divisions were not confined to the Bundestag. After an attempted Cabinet reshuffle following a local construction scandal, rebel party members last month forced the resignation of West Berlin Mayor Dietrich Stobbe.

When the hard-nosed new precinct commander, Edward Asner, decides to shape up the 41st by launching wholesale arrests to nab suspects in the murder of two policemen, the residents run riot. During one fracas, Newman sees a colleague hurl an innocent youth to his death. The rest of the film deals with Newman's agonizing over whether to report this police crime...
