...complex event, and it is charitable of the Maysles to help us deal with that complexity by ignoring a number of its main actors, the better to appreciate the intricacies of the remainder. I'm sure. But once you've excised John Jaymes of Young American Enterprises, Sam Cutler, the Dead with their bright ideas, once you've reduced Belli to a harmless comic figure, and the Stones to unwitting spectators of their own spectacle, who's loft but the Angels, and what's left but another melodrama, one in which beefy Alfred Jarrys play the villains, and everyone else...
...recently ended "new era" did bring forth films which realized the promises of unmuzzled creative vision. The films of Arthur Penn. Sam Peckinpah and Stanley Kubrick honestly reflected surrounding chaos.

Never is there any halt in the bombing. Not at night. Not by day. One day we were in the cave. The bombing went on and on. The toilet was in another cave only 20 yards away. We could pot leave. We could not even run the 20 yards. It was too dangerous...
...Government is being confronted with a major and difficult question of principle-and practice-involving the nation's way of doing business. Lockheed Aircraft Corp., the biggest defense contractor, is in a deep cash crisis, and it is looking to Uncle Sam for a bailout. The company wants Congress to authorize an unprecedented federal guarantee of a $250 million loan to save its wholly commercial L-1011 plane, a medium-range "airbus" designed to carry 250 passengers. If Congress refuses, the company's management warns that Lockheed will skid into bankruptcy, upsetting a business empire that employs...
