...have agreed with Marchi's estimate. Marchi himself had to admit he had tarnished his image as "the Perry Como of politics." And then came M-Day with the Staten Islander revealing himself in no uncertain terms, accusing Lindsay of having stuck a dagger into the back of American servicemen. All in all, a line worthy of Strom Thurmond...
This is precisely the point, and Professor Rotberg has- I fear-unwittingly lent powerful support to a grave charge that has often been directed against American interest in anti-colonial movements in Africa and elsewhere. Critics of American State Department "anti-colonialism" have argued that this policy was dictated primarily by the need to eject the old European colonial Powers from Africa and Asia.

Godard leaves his characters and story, and so his audience, adrift in a world bursting into flames and rubbish for want of moral individuals to control them. Mickey One expresses the disintegration of individual personality. Penn's post-Wellesian conception of an isolated character becomes quite paranoid...
