...treatment of foreign diplomats in Peking has markedly improved in recent months. They are allowed to travel outside the capital again, and even such arch-revisionists as the Yugoslavs are treated with courtesy. Two years ago, the dependents of Soviet diplomats were evacuated as Red Guards spat on them at the Peking airport and made them crawl under portraits of Mao Tse-tung; now these Soviet citizens are returning. A recent complaint to India over an attack on the Chinese embassy in New Delhi was stern but matter-of-fact, and there was no counter-demonstration in Peking-in stark...
...which fifty copies of a Braille page can be made at once, facilitating the printing of Braille books. And then there are the inventions of the future, such as the electronic cane. But these are all external crutches, so to speak; what the blind need more desperately than special treatment is acceptance as normal individuals. For example, Hal once wrote a grievance song for the blind, which reveals just one of the many injustices with which they are confronted. The song is entitled: "There are no dirty books in Braille...

No one seeing Skidoo can deny that the Mafia threat (central to the plot) is secondary in moving the action to the power of Preminger's decision to control personally the behavior of his characters and the structure of his film...
...their professed freedom, just as the immaculately confident space of the California courthouse is violated by the encroaching teen-agers. If we know how to read the content of Preminger's images, Skidoo is often scary, often moving (an LSD sequence is surprisingly effective, given Preminger's initially labored treatment of psychedelic special effects). Fortunately it's a comedy; the director comes out for sex, Hippies, drugs, all that's good. This youthful tolerance, plus the fact that Preminger makes personal appearance these days in a Nehru jacket and beads might cause his devotees to worry a bit, were...
