...however, essentially connotative, for the most part it is blindly objective, not rendering the particular subjective and meaningful vision, but merely variations in the intensity and color of light. Thus, heavily symbolic or metaphysical language must be abandoned because elaborate symbols seem absurd when taken literally as they appear on the screen. Even with the resources of dialogue, music, and the dance--which the film envelops--there is still a vast internal world beyond that of a pageantry that must be indicated. How to indicate reality simultaneously with one or more particular images of it, that is what makes photography...
Unfortunately, the current inflation would not appear to be correctable by such a monetary device; it is not simply the result of excess buying power or too much income competing for too few goods. There are indications that prices are being pushed up in competitive markets not by excess demand, but rather by rising wages, profits and incomes in less competitive industrial and service sectors of the economy...
...means twins, however. In the stage chiller, when Fernand Ravinel's wife refuses to dissolve their unhappy marriage through divorce, his doctor-mistress Monique suggests dissolving it through murder. As the efficient Monique drowns the wife in a bathtub and then makes her appear to drown in a stream-a Lady Macbeth superintending an Ophelia's fale -a scared Fernand quivers like jelly and wobbles like a tenpin.

The new Buick has clean fenders, a waffle-iron grille with 160 square nubs, an improved "flight-pitch" Dynaflow transmission, new air-cooled aluminum brakes and a new, high-priced ($4,663 top) Limited series. Olds got the same extensive body change...
...Broods Easy. The Irish quality of McNulty's New York is more than the green ice cubes that appear on St. Patrick's Day to startle the unwary. It is a place of great men in small jobs, stubbornly resisting the mere geographical transition from Mayo or Offaly or Cork to a great city; it is a place echoing with anecdote, irony and the great Irish wastefulness of spirit involved in drink, tragic brooding and baffled frustration about women. "He's Irish and he broods easy," says one McNulty character of another...
