...vague, perhaps unmeasurable feeling that, after all, Watergate was not all that bad, that its catastrophic results were out of all proportion to the wrongs that were done.

...encouraged. Close Encounters of the Third Kind--A major disappointment. A totally boring, over-long, overblown saga of our first communication with extraterrestrials (actually, it's not the first, as anyone from Jablib, Wisconsin, will tell you).

Pulling out maps and multicolored charts, he analyzed the world strategic balance, insisting that the U.S. was growing stronger, while world political and social trends were running against the Soviets. He even briefed his hosts...

...integrated into the film's discussion of the three major instincts of man according to the teachings of Arica's guru, a Bolivian named Oscar Ichazo. In one instance, a young man in his 20s recalls a confrontation with his father which prompted him to call his father "stupid." The camera records the young man's acute sense of remorse over the incident, which reduces him to a childlike condition as he plaintively cries out for "Daddy." This particular sequence is inserted to illustrate what the Arican's call the "relations instinct of man," an instinct which corresponds...
