More radical yet is the guaranteed annual income, an idea that surfaced in Edward Bellamy's 19th century novel, Looking Backward, and strikes many sociologists today as the wave of the future. Columbia Social Work Professor Richard Cloward proposes a strategy of crisis and disruption to achieve it. As Cloward sees it, welfare is a "savage and barbarous" system that strips recipients of all dignity. If millions of the poor could be shown how to claim all the benefits to which they are legally entitled, Cloward believes, they would so overload welfare rolls that Congress would have no choice...
Something for everyone here. Camera-conscious film wonks, alert to Cinema History, will notice something new in this use of Cinemascope: it seems uniquely uninfluenced by Hollywood wide-screen, model of New Wave Americanophiles like Chabrol and Vadim.

In Onnagata, a dedicated Kabuki actor who plays only feminine roles lives his onstage art offstage as well, falls in love with a nasty new-wave director. In Patriotism, a dis graced lieutenant and his wife rapturously relax in a last voluptuous night together-and discover that after such pleasures, hara-kiri hurts even harder. In the title tale, a young mother whose little son and daughter have recently drowned reluctantly realizes that her heart...
