Still, nothing could keep the 36th International Film Festival-the world's largest and most glamorous meeting of movie professionals-from developing a giant, 13-day hangover. Last year Cannes sailed through sunny weather and provocative films to a memorable festival, capped by a rapturous reception for the world premiere of Steven Spielberg's E.T. At this year's meeting, some 35,000 of the faithful staggered through chills and intermittent rain, through failures of organization and not a few fiascoes onscreen...

Caro, like many Americans, balks at the idea that desirable policy can be effected through morally questionable means. Yet one lesson modern politics offers is that good causes--like rural electrification or civil rights for Blacks--frequently are not converted into government action until their proponents adopt the methods of compromise and mutual advantage that their opponents have used all along. Lyndon Johnson may have connived with George and Herman Brown...
