hmmm

good documentary, worth watching, fascinating recaps of the events by those who lived them - but i'd like to have seem some cops interviewed, just for posterity's sake.

one thing that seemed interesting and weird: the white male leaders seemed to think that the movements had created changes in the nation: affecting vietnam pullout, civil rights, the black panthers, women's rights... but the women and black leaders seemed to see the overarching flaw of the berkley-centered movements as a lack of a cohesive goal for something to replace what was being argued against. were the white males justifying those years of action?

all in all, a good testament to civil disobedience and great training in how our gov't won't tolerate much of anything.

reagan's final scene left me wondering how the man was ever elected. he said to the UCB faculty something like the following: you're older, and you know better. the trouble began when you let those students THINK that they had the FREEDOM to CHOOSE which laws to follow based on their IDEAS ...

reagan had been in the communist part in LA before he changed his heart (or mind). here he is, seen treating academics without respect, and throwing the bill of rights to the wind with the constitution - clearly stating that the law is above the individual, which is completely anti-american. his crowd still runs the game.

nothing has changed. hooray, america! way to improve over 40 years!!
