...subject is the individual pinpointed by the camera in the middle of a crowd. Relying for inspiration on sheaves of photographs and films, he creates shadowy monochromatic canvases filled with silhouettes of dozens of tiny people running, fighting, pathetic, but defiant. Sometimes, beneath the shadow of an unseen airplane, his people stream across an open plaza routed from a riot, or perhaps in some more existential form of flight. Other canvases are composed of a series of panels reminiscent of a strip of movie film or contact prints: La Protesta (the Protest), for example, shows a couple shaking fists...
...during the blackout, and one of the flit-and-run sight gags of the evening is Crawford's desperately adroit and maladroit effort to sneak the antiques back to the rightful owner's flat. By the time that Crawford's mistress (Geraldine Page) makes her unseen appearance, it is clear that British Playwright Shaffer has skimmed the most risibility from invisibility since the old Topper films...
Viet Nam brings out the most apocalyptic of Fulbright's denunciations. "We see the Viet Cong, who cut the throats of village chiefs, as savage murderers," he says, but we see "American flyers who incinerate unseen women and children with napalm as valiant fighters for freedom."

...attitude in general is a questioning, as in science, rather than an affirmation, as in humanism. Being heretics with no common cause, rebelling against a permissive society with no settled faith of its own, they often seem driven into intellectual dead ends or fragmented tantrums of defiance, fighting unseen gusts that are perhaps not there. It is hard to be different among crowds of other people trying to be different. In the Dada decade, Marcel Duchamp could shock people by exhibiting a urinal turned upside down and calling it Fountain. Seeing it for the first time today, hardly anvone would...
Tired & Unsettled. Police had closed off the streets of the tiny fortress colony, and motorcades whisked the two men unseen from the airport to the docks. There they climbed aboard an R.A.F. rescue launch and were taken to the cruiser H.M.S. Tiger, which was anchored half a mile offshore in Algeciras Bay. Dog tired, and somewhat unsettled by the heavy swells of the sea, Wilson and Smith met briefly in the wood-paneled captain's quarters of the Tiger, then went to bed. Two hours after dawn, the cruiser weighed anchor, wallowed out into the stormy straits and headed...
