...FEMINIST movement has had an enormous impact in the last few years on the way women think and speak about themselves, and about men. Any philosophy that alters our perception of ourselves must inevitably alter the art we produce, and so in poetry, fiction, journalism and photography women have been exploring what it means to be female in today's society...
...spring to another, although the true time of all events seems to be rooted in Fellini's imagination. The look of clothes, the political talk and the movies people go to see fix the period in the middle to late 1930s, although a casual remark or reference can alter the time abruptly 20 years into the past or future.

Fake or Freak. The author has warned that there must be no critical truffling in his works for deep-lying meanings. His word games in Harlequins justify the warning.

It is reasonable to think that Ford is aware that the continuing exposure of American intervention in Chile can only hinder U.S. foreign policy. By allowing Javits and Pell to go to Cuba, a possible first step...
...position toward the colonels that could not possibly be considered unfavorable, negative or even neutral. The reason was shortsighted, serving American strategic interests. The American Government cooperated with the military regime in Greece and supported it in practice. A few platonic statements about "liberalization" of the regime did not alter this reality. Considering this background and the widespread public resentment [it caused] in Greece toward the U.S., it was inevitable that Washington's attitude during the recent events in Cyprus would create a crisis in Greek-American relations. Put bluntly, we believe that the Americans were able to stop...
