True, but the granddaddy of '70s paranoia can probably be traced to
EXECUTIVE ACTION (1973), the JFK-consipiracy film based on a book by
assassination guru Mark Lane.  It's a pretty bad film but interesting
for what it attempts (and to compare with Stone's craftier handling of
similar material in JFK, love it or hate it).
