...country. And a group of ornery independents have organized to show their films in a Manhattan art house. Viewers who might otherwise catch Caveman will discover 17 fiction features and documentaries, including John Hanson and Rob Nilsson's painterly Northern Lights (Crosby) and Jan Egleson's vivid The Dark of the Street (Boston), featuring a curly-haired charmer named Laura Harrington. Good, bad or just different, regional cinema may be here to stay...
...common side effect of war is that emotional polarities can be switched in an instant. Omnipotence suddenly turns to helplessness, brutality to compassion. The details in these pages arrange themselves into a vivid collage: the painted yellow footprints on which brand-new Marine recruits are told to stand; the puce and canary Braniff jetliners that fly replacements to Da Nang as if it were a trip to Disney World; U.C.L.A. sweatshirts left behind by retreating Viet Cong; the exploding shoeshine box of an urchin-guerrilla; the contoured fiber-glass chairs that give a military morgue the look of a "futuristic...

His fear of losing his campaign is "a gray moth of doubt that had ballooned into...
...records, and enterprising opera companies are putting works like Oberto and Giovanna d'Arco on the stage. At the New York City Opera, Attila has taken the State Theater in a blaze of barbaric splendor: the composer's ninth opera, it stands revealed as an uneven but vivid work. Those with more traditional tastes in Verdi could go across Lincoln Center to the Metropolitan Opera, which last week introduced a handsome new production by Tanya Moiseiwitsch of La Traviata...
