Although hardly dealing from strength, Coppola fought to get his budget doubled, shift the style to the period in which the book is set (late 1940s and early 1950s), and alter the whole conception of the film. "I saw important ideas in this book that had to do with dynasty and power," he says. "Puzo's screenplay had turned into a slick, contemporary gangster picture of no importance. It wasn't Puzo's fault. He just did what they told him to do." With Puzo's collaboration, Coppola rewrote the script along the broader lines...
...unadulterated good. Academic radicals support community organizing; Coles has talked to people in the communities and knows how firmly the existing order of things is ingrained in people and why change is difficult. In both examples he understands that "social policy" or "radicalization" is really an attempt to alter people's lives, and that the alterers had better understand--in human terms--what they are attempting...
...Gulf is a part of the bloodshed in Angola, Harvard is a part of Gulf. We support PALC's demand that Harvard use its stock leverage to alter Gulf's Angola policy.

Showing herself as an almost incestuous alter ego to Helmut Berger's Alberto, her cool beauty fails to mask a festering decadence that has been epitomized by Berger's own performances in Visconti's The Damned, and Bertollucci's The Conformist. While society is being corrupted outside the garden, the self-contained life-style perpetuated by the Finzi-Continis on the inside is rotting at the core. Raised as a bluestocking, Micol quips to Giorgio that she's writing her thesis on Emily Dickenson, "a dried...
...often, however, the majestic alexandrine sonorities of De Gaulle's written French sound awkward and even unintelligible in Terence Kilmartin's translation. The American publishers have also neglected to alter Anglicisms that will baffle many U.S. readers - for example, "council flats" for public housing. Most of all, though, De Gaulle has simply not done himself justice. He writes: "Beyond all the or deals and obstacles, and perhaps be yond the grave, that which is legitimate may one day be legalized, that which is rightful may in the end be proved right." Events have already proved De Gaulle right...
