...Union of American Hebrew Congregations, meeting in New York City last month (TIME, Nov. 26), was expected to issue a strong statement on Watergate. The union's retiring president, Maurice Eisendrath, who died suddenly as the meeting began, had planned to scold Jews for their silence in the face of "the heinously immoral cesspool" of the Nixon Administration. But some delegates, nervous about U.S. aid to Israel, decided, as one of them put it, that it was "the height of folly to bite the hand that feeds us."

...Scold. Yet Petersen was compromised in the original investigation, ordering Gray to confine its scope to gathering evidence only on the actual wiretapping.

Malcolm McDowell as the lead thug has been praised for his performance, but can't help being more interesting than his supporting cartoon figures. No great achievement for director or actor...
...bearing the words "Freewill Independent Baptist Church" and, on the back, bumper stickers: "Jesus Saves," "Have You Read Your Bible Today?" Mr. Graves has the gentle, fearful eyes of a ten-year-old but the brown weathered skin of a life-long construction worker. He seems afraid I will scold him for what he tells me. He mumbles a bit when he says he's for Wallace, but his embarrassment is not doubt. Busing comes up quickly: "You can't change a hundred years--or more I guess--in ten." He's afraid his kids will be beaten...
