Pending a final tally of absentee ballots that will take another week, the Social Democrats wound up with twelve additional seats, or "mandates," for a total of 125 and their first absolute majority in the chamber since 1940. The party had not really expected such a showing. The Social Democrats had taken gloomy pre-election forecasts seriously enough to cast about for new gimmicks in a country where social reform seems to have gone about as far as it can go, and taxes about as high (in addition to income taxes averaging 30%, Swedes pay a painful 11% sales...

Self-consciously billed as the answer to the question "Why Gun Control?", Targets eventually falls victim to artistic overkill...
When the cops started clubbing three girls in a convertible, Chicago Daily News Reporter John Linstead protested. His reward was a beating and a scalp wound. NBC newsman John Evans was struck by a policeman, had his head bandaged, then began interviewing other bandaged victims. Delos Hall, a CBS cameraman, was filming a cop-hippie clash when he was clubbed from behind. NBC Cameraman James Strickland was photographing Hall's plight when he was hit in the face and toppled. Even while he was on the air, CBS Floor Reporter Dan Rather was flattened by two security...
