...beyond the curriculum at Harvard. American secondary school systems in recent years have given increasing priority to foreign language instruction, thanks in large part to increasing strictness of college-level requirements. Were colleges to lower this standard, many school systems now accelerating or instituting more comprehensive programs would abandon such attempts. The results of such a move would be regrettable, to say the least...
...many of you would recommend tomorrow a tax in crease for the purpose of restraining our economy? Those of you that would, I wish you would raise your right hand." Not a hand went up.

Heroine Anna Karina plays a wistful student who meets two ne'er-do-wells and helps them plan the robbery of her aunt's chateau. They bungle the job, but meanwhile abandon themselves to a couple of amusing Godardian escapades-taking over a cafe with an impudent little dance of alienation, romping through the Louvre in about nine minutes to beat the record set by a busy American tourist. The rest is pretty random stuff, discomfitting evidence that Godard's blazing love...
