...enormous waxy-faced man carooms through the front of the crowd. He is rounder and crazier than helium balloon, and he's spreading false information about the march's route. Losing his temper a black man shoves his hand into the fat man face, crumpling a leaflet into his mouth. Under a bare tree, two securitymen twist the black to the ground. He's screaming, "I won't let any motherfucking son-of-a-bitch stand in our way." With cries of "police agent," and "white racist pig" the crowd tries to bounce the fat man into Park Drive where...
...evidence is that in his final days, Mao, with the ready assent of the versatile Chou, feels the need to bring more stable patterns to China and abandon-or at least temper-the rash experiments and the tumultuous campaigns for ideological purity. In true pragmatic style, Chou appears to be blocking out a program that will incorporate those things that have worked well as Mao sought, first one way and then another, to build a modern industrial state without at the same time creating a privileged technocratic elite...

Their selling will tend to temper rallies, but any prediction is iffy at best, and heavily dependent on moves by the Administration and Congress to restore health to the ailing economy...
...necessary. When Billy Jack lets his hands and feet fly at some nasty yokel, he feels just terrible afterward. His guilt has to do in great part with his love for Jean Roberts (Delores Taylor), a staunch advocate of nonviolence who takes a dim view of Billy's temper even as she makes good use of his muscle. In Trial, as in its predecessor, the townies are always hassling Jean and her freedom school-a dewy combination of Summerhill and a dude ranch the citizens think is the vanguard of the Red Menace...
