...Bangkok, when he declared: "The U.S. will stand proudly with Thailand against those who might threaten it from abroad or from within." Although Nixon has begun to withdraw U.S. troops from Viet Nam in what is obviously an effort to cut losses and repair mistakes, he made an extraordinary statement. "In this dreary, difficult war," he said, "I think history will record that this may have been one of America's finest hours, because we took on a difficult task and succeeded." Viet Nam has unquestionably been a difficult task, but to say that the U.S. succeeded there...
...body. Even using a very outside limit of nine hours, that would have placed the moment of death no earlier than 12:30 a.m. Dr. Mills admitted that a judgment based on the degree of rigor mortis is "at best inexact"; there was no autopsy. Still, Mills' statement either casts doubt on Kennedy's account as to the time of the accident or, even worse for the Senator, raises anew the possibility that Mary Jo remained alive for a time after the car sank in Poucha Pond...

I've rarely argued the point with him, for one can hardly be unaware of the fact that we (the Now Generation, right?) are entering a new era (the Age of Aquarius, of course) where all we really need...
...Esso" at the passing cars. But this is rather small accomplishment; it's all there, as obvious as a Wheaties box. Tropici is betrayed by Amico's failure to integrate his narrative and documentary concerns, to deal with them not in isolation but in interaction. This failure gives his statement on foreign exploitation the ring of a superficial overview, rendering it less forceful, less immediate and real. The few times he manages to bring both elements into focus at once are the film's high points--for instance, a panning shot of the passengers waiting for their truck...
