The brilliant d ocumentary filmmaker, Gene Searchinger has made “Paradox on 72nd Street, ” a film examining the paradox in society between man’s need to be an individual and his equal instinct toward conformity. He has used the busy corner of 72nd Street and Broadway in New York City as a metaphor to make his point. In his film, this busy intersection becomes a microcosm of huma n interaction. Philip Slater (society watcher) and Lewis Thomas, M.D. (bio logy watcher), discuss the paradoxical nature of man's personality and beh avioral patterns--the struggle between individualism and collectivity, ind ependence and dependence. In this anthropological study, systems, and inst itutions, which provide order and control, are analyzed as well as the unc onscious gestures and modes of etiquette, which human beings impose on the mselves.

There are shots in this film from the window of Mr. Sear chinger’s office, which over-looked the corner that he studied when he m ade this film. The two experts that Gene depended on for opinions and acad emic heft are Lewis Thomas, the late great essayist (The Lives of a Cell) and self-styled biology watcher, and Philip Slater the author of The Pursu it of Loneliness and former head of Brandeis University Department of Soci ology.
