Zumwalt's increasingly mod Navy is a far cry from the spit-and-polish service that Cover Writer Ed Magnuson knew in the years from 1944 to 1946, and again during Korea. "After a year of advanced training in electronics," he recalls, "my first assignments were to chip rust off the sides of a submarine tender and serve as a base telephone operator...
...marvelously eccentric manifesto, Olney writes: "My kitchen I love, but I would recommend it to no one else." Just as well, because he cooks mostly on an open hearth where roasts turn on a spit, meat and fish are grilled, and vegetables bake buried in the hot ashes. Furthermore, he adds, "from time to time I climb to the rooftop and suspend a marinated rolled boar's belly or other delicacy in the chimney to be smoked." He is not really a masochist.

Making sense out of existence is a dangerous game: the temptations of Conviction, on the one hand, and utter, shapeless Alienation, on the other, are usually seductive enough to deprive piety of content and realism of form. "Spit in a whore's face and she'll tell you it's raining," goes an old Yiddish proverb. What to do about reality seems to have become a problem of choice, and a film-maker who suspects that both documentary and story are lies isn't likely to respect...
