...proved remarkably durable, partly because it has been interpreted and stretched so broadly that widely different political movements can and do invoke it (see TIME ESSAY, page 35). In its specific applications, the faith is hopelessly split. Within little more than a decade, Communism has undergone a great schism (Moscow v. Peking), experienced an abortive reformation (Dubcek's Czechoslovakia), and developed a plethora of protestant sects (Yugoslavia and Rumania, among others). The once vaunted and feared unity of Communism has shattered into a bewildering, quarrelsome, logic-and dogma-defying set of parties...
...present a course of action to the Faculty and the students with the goal of rallying a broad consensus behind him. Such a course could still have been firm and swift, but it would have been aimed as much at mobilizing the loyalty of, and at preventing a further schism in the community, as at putting an early end to the occupation.

Every other shot, it seems, is the crotch of a pair of male dungarees; every adolescent attempt at high metaphysics recalls the warning that mysticism begins with mist and ends in schism. In his soft-centered drama of sex as destroyer and healer, the once promising film maker sedulously apes D. H. Lawrence, whom he seems to have both studied and misunderstood. In the future, Pasolini might well heed an earlier author, whose Sonnet 94 could have been addressed to artists who inflict private fantasies on their public...
