...Perhaps the severest cut of all came from Columnist Jerald terHorst, his former press secretary who quit after the President pardoned Richard Nixon. TerHorst wrote that his old boss-and good friend still-has proved too "heavyhanded" in many of his major moves, including the Nixon pardon, the Mayaguez affair and the shakeup. He has acted, terHorst wrote, as though he feared that "anything less than full force might be mistaken as a sign of weakness or timidity. When the man stamps, he stamps hard...
...marriage of the Jewish couple from Philadelphia reaches its pathetic nadir as Braudy realizes that her husband, too, is having an affair. And so arises "the great unanswerable question. How come only Susan can have a new romance in her life?" Braudy asks why a woman can so easily drift to another man, yet find it so hard to accept her partner's similar involvement.

Lelouch, also responsible for A Man and A Woman, is bold enough to film a love affair and yet leave his main characters separated until the last frames. As he develops the lives of his two lovers, Lelouch also traces the history of France in the twentieth century. While his character's political statements never rise above the level of glib Reaganisms, the film still manages...
THAT MAN, according to Lewis, is American journalist Morton Fullerton, whose relationship with Wharton is detailed in by far the most fascinating section of the biography. Lewis makes use of some almost painfully revealing source material on their affair, including the private diary Wharton addressed to Fullerton and the love poems he inspired her to write, as well as correspondence from his jealous cousin and fiancee, Katherine Fullerton. Skillfully integrating the poems and journal entries with his text, Lewis illumines both the depth and power of Wharton's feelings for Fullerton and her yearning to escape the solitude that afflicted...
