MICHAELANGELO Antonioni's Zabrickie Point, crucified by the nation. I press as the naive product of questionable motives, is not as simple as its detractors would have us believe. Consider seriously the question of why Antonioni made the film in the first place. Consensus: Antonioni is a smart 57-year-old who knows that whatever's happening isn't happening in Italy and has ventured in search of an important audience.

After the 250,000 people and 750.000 hallucinations in human form went home, Nixon turned off his television set and offered the country two more Middle American goodies. "Vietnamization." the process whereby those smart, tough G. I.'s teach those sweet, brown children how to fight (or, more probably, why they should), was proof enough of Nixon's good faith.
