By BRUCE SHLAIN
The movies nave aramatically
zoomed in before on the smoke-
filled -room- Advise -and Con-
sent, The Last Hurrah, etc. But
never have the Medison Avenue
details of a modern political
campaign been so gruesomely
exposed as. in The Candidate.
Sure, David Wolper's documen-
tary The Making of the Presi-
dent 1960 captured the ups and
downs; the rhythms, of the cam-
paign trail, but only superfic-
ially. The Candidate is a cinema-
tic corollary to Joe McKinnis'
The Selling of the President, and
gets down to what happens when
the- candidate realizes he is be-
ing boxed, advertised, and sold
like detergent, all while being en-
cased in an absurd world of pan-
cake makeup, frenzied advance
men, frozen smiles, and egg
salad sandwiches eaten on the
run.
Robert McKay, played by
Robert Redford, is the good-
looking, energetic, charismatic,
liberal young lawyer who is per-
suaded to run for a senate seat
in California against Republican
incumbent Crocker Jarmon (Don
Porter.) The persuading is done
by campaign whiz Mark Lucas,
played by Peter Boyle, who is
somehow reminiscent of Pierre
Salinger, catering to our. precon-
ceived notions of the sophisticat-
ed gamesplayer. The original
"deal" insures that McKay can
say whatever he wants so that
he need not compromise the
principles that he eventually
loses along the way. All goes
well until it becomes apparent
that McKay actually has a shot
at an upset, bringing the awe-
some machinery at Lucas' com-
mand into devastating full swing.
McKay's schedule becomes more,
and more hectic, and he is buf-
feted by crowd after crowd,
newsman after newsman, until
he is almost dazed.
The film's credibility teeters
on the question of whether any-
one in McKay's position could be
so naive, and allow things to
AR6
ticians
get so out of hand.: For the most
part, director Michael Ritchie
sidesteps this pitfall-by making
the banquets, parades, and cam-
paign apparaturs so realistic that
McKay "soaks up" the realism
of the background settings (there
are even cameo appearances by
Humphrey, McGovern, . and Ho-
ward K. Smith). True, at vari-
ous times in the film he tries
desperately to "speak for him-
self," but somehow at these
times he always appears to be
stumbling and cutting his own
throat intentionally.
Eventually, his words begin to
sound more and more hollow in
his, ears, the repeated phrases
more and more like machine re-
petitions. In the film's best
scene, he is being taxied to an-
o t h e r speaking engagement
while, in the car, he jumbles to-
gether his pet phrases into jib-
berish, still exhorting his imag-
inary audience to sustain the
"courage on the gridiron" that
made America great. But, cam-
paigning with the full knowledge
that he is a sham, he is in no po-
sition to slow down the band-
wagon. As his friend congratu-
lates him: "You and I both know
it's b- - - - - --, but it's work-
ing." Unfortunately, the public,
although everyone concedes they
are learning from Jack Ander-
son every day, never seemed as
eager to buy used cars from the
likes of McKay.

Listening to Andrew Carrigan
read his poetry last night in the
VGLI multipurpose room was
more engaging than rewarding
but perhaps those present will be
interested enough to enjoy his
poetry on the printed page.
Unassuming,; casual, remines
cent ,of.;the. Beats, and Jack
Kerouac, in his masculinity, Car-
rigan gave his vital (in the true
sense of the 'word) and genuine
poetry a matter of fact treatment
it did not, deserve..
Carrigan's poetry tends to de-
pend on the impact of its images
which are culled from his deep-
est experiences. For this to come
across the, lines must be spoken
in an equally impressive manner
or the sense is lost.
In "Dead Elms or Oaks" he
tells us:
I am not a dead tree
I am not like a dead tree'
I like the angry clutch
against the sky.
On paper this castrated meta-

phor has power. It is the senti-
ment which bent by different situ-
ations seems to run through Car-
rigan's poetry. De li gh tf u lly,
enough, the .83rd anniversary of
the birthday of T. S. Eliot, whose
poetry so often dealt with sterility
and decay in modern civilization,
was yesterday.
Carrigan 'leans' heavily on 'the
eyesand does not bring the other
senses into his art except' to
spice up his basic impressions
and seldom to create aunique
impression. In "Ham on Rye"
we see this done quite well:
Fog covers neon signs
like swiss.cheese
the barmaid dabbed behind her,
ears
Through the holes
music pour into the street .. .
Blending the nuances of visual
detail and his peculiar personal
impression, Carrigan worls right
to the bitter end of his own con-
clusions-an artistic condition
that an Alfred P. Prufrock in his
pointless wanderings through
Eliot's poem could not conceive.
Oh
...how it hurts!

THE
By BRUCE SHLAIN
The hospital has always been a
rich, fertile ground for drama.
What with the continual strug-
gle between life and death, the
close bond between doctor and
patient . . . well, the yin and
yang of the whole thing has al-
ways been a ready drama for
anyone desirious of tugging at
the heart strings. Ask Marcus
Welby.
It is only very recently t h a t
anyone dared to use a surgical
situation for comedic ends. Act-
ually, the genre of operating-table
comedy would never have gotten
going if not for the remarkable
virtuosity of the first wild fling
in this direction, namely
M.A.S.H., which managed to jus-
tify its light-headed approach to
spurting blood in the name of
personal sanity. What was pre-
sented, then, was very "real"
characters like Donald Suther-
l9rd's Hawkeye Pierce dealing
with an unreal situation; t h e
comedy was used to fill the void
between these two extremes.
In Where Does It Hurt? the
characters and the situations are
equally ludicrous, providing no
frame of reference for the "hil-
arity" when the patient's ap-
pendix (in perfect condition; of
course), is removed by the bung-
ling surgeon: Through it all, Pe-
ter Sellers (whose integrity, af-
ter appearing in this turkey, was
never more in doubt), plays the
hospital administrator Hopfnagel,
obsessed with money and nurses
with large mammaries. The rest
of the cast makes up for the lack
of point or plot by trading ethnic
slurs (perverted variations on
Archie Bunkerisms) and ripping
off the patients. To be sure, di-
rector Rod Amateau's pace never
slows; the movie is offensive
from start to finish.
