Regardless of whether it was safe or legal for any members of the Harvard community to return to normal activities, more consideration should have been given to the impact this decision would have on the cleanup effort in Cambridge and on the provision of essential services to Cambridge residents. It is disillusioning to realize that part of Harvard's uniqueness consists of its ability to discount the reality of these concerns...
...wring bitter laughter out of assembly-line conditions and the financial woes of the three central figures (Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel and Yaphet Kotto) do not entirely pay off. Still, these scenes help motivate the film's central incident, a robbery of their own union's safe in which the three turn up not the cash they wanted but a ledger hinting at various forms of venality and corruption.

...Abuse to study the problem and make recommendations. Unfortunately, it seemed that members of Congress would only be interested in study results if the Commision told them what they wanted to hear. In its 1972 report, the Commission found that intermittent or experimental use of the drug was relatively safe, that marijuana did not pose a major health threat to the public, and that, while cannabis was not wholly innocuous, only chronic heavy users were at risk.

Commissioned by Congress in 1974 in response to tales of classroom horror, the 247-page report offers a slightly encouraging note: violence has tapered off in the 4,000 schools profiled since the early '70s. Nonetheless, the report notes that 25% of American schools, about 20,500, suffer from moderately serious to serious problems of vandalism, personal attack and thievery. In 1978, it estimates, one out of every nine secondary school students will have something stolen in a typical month...
