...grownup suspicions and fears about the event. Bethel produced a feeling of friendship, camaraderie and ?an overused phrase?a sense of love among those present. This yearning for togetherness was demonstrated in countless major and minor ways: the agape-like sharing of food and shelter by total strangers: the lack of overt hostility despite conditions that were ripe for panic and chaos; the altruistic ministrations of the Hog Farm, a New Mexico hippie commune who took care of kids on bad trips. If Bethel was youth on a holiday, it was also a demonstration to the adult world that...
...ironic that Floyd had cinched matters with a putt, since putting had been his biggest hangup through all four rounds at the National Cash Register golf course at Dayton. He took a total of 121 strokes on the greens-six more than Player, five more than Bert Greene, who finished third, and eleven more than fourth place Jimmy Wright. Floyd really won the P.G.A. with his booming, if sometimes errant drives, and with his beautifully wrought iron play. He hit 59 greens in par, compared with Player's 53. There was another ingredient in Floyd's winning eight...
...splitting $500 million among the 50 states during the six-month period starting Jan. 1, 1971. By 1975, the money to be divided would grow to an estimated $5 billion. The program would begin by offering the states one-sixth of one percent of the nation's total taxable income, less deductions and exemptions. By 1976, this share would grow to 1 % of the country's total taxable income, the level at which it would remain. Each state's share would be calculated through a formula involving population and the proportional share of the federal-tax revenues...
...slums, the bets are usually on "the numbers." The gambler picks the number that he thinks will come up in some agreed-upon tabulation?the total dollars bet at a race track, for example ?and puts down as little as 250 or as much as $1. In some places $10 bets are allowed. The bet taker himself, called the policy writer, is too small?and too vulnerable?to be a formal member of La Cosa Nostra. He works instead under contract as a "sharecropper...
...Godard deceives him into a gratuitous existential denouement (straight out of Contempt) in which the lovers hear about their involvement in a fatal car crash before it actually occurs. Wexler's sympathies are admittedly with the brutalized young, and he sets out to show the police as almost total villains. In that, he had plenty of help from the cops themselves. But it might have made for less propaganda and better art if he had not presented the conflict as totally one-sided; if he had shown in more detail, for instance, how some of the demonstrators deliberately goaded...
