...kind of Outward Bound for driving. At the speeds required (70 to 80 m.p.h.), students at first have no sense of how to control the car-or whether they have it in control at all. Many Americans are defensive drivers, quite content to putt around in an underpowered, six-year-old sedan, carefully navigating the maniacal freeway traffic that surrounds many cities. And every sensible and safe reflex built up for that kind of driving must be violated in Scott's course...
...Hakansson (and his German female companion Fran Hosken) proceeded to show his grotesque films to an audience of about 25 white (mostly female)students and staff. These films contained no more than redundant sequences of sexual mutilation (clitoridectomy and scarification) of five-and six-year-old black youngsters who were shrieking and fighting during the act and being restrained by older women.

...inner-city black youth, unemployment takes a heavy psychological toll. Jerroll Kuerzi, 53, the father of eight, was an industrial engineer at the recently closed Ford Motor plant in Mahwah, N.J.

...Frustrated by a six-year-old East-West diplomatic standoff over Afghanistan, the jittery post-Brezhnev leadership in Moscow sends ten Warsaw Pact tank divisions rumbling across the border into West Germany. Pushing back the outnumbered NATO forces, the invaders head for the French border. As the attacking army crosses the Rhine, the French President orders the use of tactical neutron bombs to protect his country's "territorial independence." In response, a Soviet-made SS-20 missile, armed with three nuclear warheads, rises from its silo in Poland and speeds toward Paris...
Sadly, the turnout for Mary's renaissance has lagged. Six people saw the show Wednesday afternoon, and when a six-year-old got bored and started crying (too much R2-D2) he and his father walked out. So you can scoff, if you must. But you can also swallow a spoonful of sugar or say Supercalifragilistic-expialadocious. Go see it, spit spot. Very well. Carry...
