...after-Coca-Cola crowd: the same long-haired young people who had marched in the streets of Washington, by-passing both the Lincoln Monument and the tear gas in Du Pont Circle. They were applauding for a good try. "It takes a lot to laugh, but it takes a train...
...thrown into the seat in front of me. Then the windows started crashing down on top of me. The floor was gone, and people were screaming for help." Thus Cliff Retis, 23, described the horror of last week's commuter-train collision in Chicago in which 44 people were killed and 350 injured.

Either way you go it's mandatory to find some friends at lunchtime who have a station wagon-preferably the kind with...
...images, Ozu unrolls a cinematic parchment of Japanese prints, the black and white photography of the film heightening its formal links to traditional Japanese art. Each interior, every landscape shot, whether bleak or beautiful, instills respect for an eye so fine that it can turn the view of a train rushing through the industrial wastes of Tokyo into a sight as pleading as a misty seaside mountainscaps. One has often been criticized for sets that are too neat, tidy and unnatural, but his love for the smallest details reveal the perceptions of a superb visual artist...
