...Bricks & Stink Bombs. Nasser had heard the theme of change all too clearly only the week before, when Egypt was rocked by anti-government demonstrations. The trouble had started right in Helwan, where 3,000 workers took to the street to protest the leniency shown by a military court to four top officers accused of criminal responsibility for the defeat by Israel in June. Egged on by leftist agents of Nasser's own Arab Socialist Union Party, the workers attacked a local police post, were driven off only with riot guns. Their cause was quickly picked up by students...

Screaming "Blood for blood!" and "Clean up your house, O President!", 15,000 students battled police for two days with bricks, tree limbs, firecrackers and stink bombs manufactured in chemistry labs. They marched on the National Assembly, on government newspapers and on Nasser's own Kubbeh...

...Edward Bastian, a graduate in political science from the University of Iowa, who spent a month in Viet Nam and captures the grime of the war.

Not that the film is without distinction: it was directed by Michael Cacoyannis (Zorba the Greek). It may also be the homosexiest movie since Modesty Blaise. Two fliers (Tom Courtenay and Colin Blakeley) crash-land their nuclear weaponry on a mythical Greek island and spend the rest of the film in their Jockey shorts playing peekaboo with the villagers. Backing them up are a squad of sylphish soldiers dressed in mufti: the cunningest white booties...

...seems care less of the consequences. When Nikita Khrushchev personally upbraided him for his unconventional poetry, Voznesensky stubbornly refused to recant. When critics attacked him for formal ism, which in Soviet jargon means experimenting with the language, Voznesensky replied in verse: "They nag me about formalism./Formaldehyde: you stink of it and incense." He helped to stir up the Soviet Writers Congress last May by signing a letter boldly calling for an end to Soviet censorship. Last week copies of a Voznesensky letter to Pravda and one of his latest poems reached the West. They made it plain that their...
