...serious production errors killed it before it ever got started The casting of Ann-Margaret as a Radcliffe-type undergraduate did not help matters (although she got her acclaimed role in Carnal Knowledge as a result). Nor was 32-year old Gary Lockwood entirely credible as a Harvard SDS leader. "Jesus, if they hadn't cast it from a geriatric ward we'd have had half a chance." As it was the film got mired in a morass of Hollywoodism. "But I got to meet Quinn, who is a real original and I admire Kramer though our bomb...
Aside from Richard Herrnstein, one of SDS's prime targets this year has been William Shockley, a professor of Engineering at Stanford and a major proponent of the theory that intelligence is primarily dependent upon heredity...
...strongest stand on principle taken by Moos in the exchange seems to concern the superiority (presumably not genetic) of the Harvard-Radcliffe chapter to other SDS units around the country. In a letter dated February 8, she insists that the Boston-wide committee planning the convention is "headed by H-R SDS" and that while workers and students from all over the country were being allowed to feel they were involved in the leadership of the convention, "all planning is under the control of H-R SDS." This distinction is carried one step further later in February, when Moos convinces...
...sponsorship controversy is also responsible for the single most unusual inclusion in the collection--a 100 per cent scale model of an SDS leaflet, apparently sent by Epps to Moos (if you can imagine that) to demonstrate that advertising for the convention did not mention the Harvard chapter. This may well be one of the few times a major Ivy League university has published and distributed a document congratulating "hundreds of black, white and latin students" for leading a campaign to prevent the teaching activities of three of its own professors. Careful examination of this reproduction also reveals what appears...
...explicitly only in the very final exchange. I refer in part, of course, to the requisite Other Woman. How much is left unsaid by the simple title "vice president" consistently attached to Katherine Moos's name does not become clear until, following Epps's request that she designate an SDS member to supervise security. Moos replies bluntly: "Bonnie Blustein, '72, has taken responsibility for assigning marshalls for the Convention." That name! That symbol of all the painfully suppressed contradictions inherent in the twisted, intense relationship between "Dear Dean Epps" and "Dear Miss Moos" and between the institutions they represent.
