This particular series is intend ed to show the different faces of underground films, as well as the best of these motion pictures. It was arranged by film critic Shel don Renan, author of a forthcom ing book on underground films. “Our Founding Fathers,” the November 11 program, will fea ture the first underground films, including those by such surreal ists at Salvador Dali.

Can’t Think The prime minister explained that ‘‘we can’t think in any other language.” Grant said the rea son the French copy wasn’t given to him before was that he wasn’t trusted yet. Much to the consternation of the U.S. embassy, Grant advised against habeas corpus because of an existing policy which allowed the government to arrest and jail anyone suspected of treason able acts for an “indefinite pe riod.” Grant also recommended that the new system of courts be run more independently of the gov ernment but President Diem then asked, “How do I know they will make the right decisions?” Grant commented that the Vi etnamese are trying too hard to create a completely new politi cal system. They claim they “haven’t borrowed anything from anybody,” when in actuality there is very little they haven't bor rowed from somewhere. “I thought to myself,” Grant said, "if the Vietnamese haven’t borrowed anything from anybody and aren’t about to start, then there isn’t a whole lot I can do.” Hollywood,” a series of commen taries on Hollywood movie-mak ing, will feature “Life and Death of a Hollywood Extra” and “Sins of the Fleshapoids,” on Decem ber 2.
