Today's suspension of Alan Balsam, Sylvia Gallagher, and John Shaffer is one more example of the antidemocratic nature of Harvard management. When kitchen workers walk out in protest against a threat to fire their shop steward, Harvard suspends three union leaders, threatens the rest; and says that it is being generous not to fire everybody.

The human relations portrayed in the film are, if anything, more degrading and more empty than those of the first version. Emmanuelle, played (more or less) by toothy, leggy Sylvia Kristel, and her husband, played by Umberto Orissini, have agreed they are free to do whatever they wish, so long as they don't fall in love with anyone else. Where the dynamic tension in Emmanuelle I was provided by the breakdown of Emmanuelle's inhibitions, the only tension in this film comes...
