Shortly after the September 13 primaries, the New York Times delivered the ultimate slap in the face to the anti-war movement when it proclaimed in an editorial that "one-issue candidates" never win. This was an open reference to the Senatorial candidacies of David Frost in New Jersey and Thomas Boylston Adams in Massachusetts...
Despite these demerits, Vogel & Co. presented a provocative cinematic circus. There were eye-grabbing sideshows enlivened by the thumps and grinds of U.S. independent film makers: exhibitions of Underground Cinema, Direct Cinema, and something the Marshall McLuhanatics call Expanded Cinema or Intermedia Kinetic Environment (IKE)-a sort of slap-happening half on and half off the screen.
