...some respects, Wilson's homecoming was reminiscent of 1964 when, the youngest British Prime Minister of the century at 48, he had assumed office with a bare majority of four seats in the Commons. This time he found himself leading Britain's first minority government in 45 years-a certain challenge to his celebrated agility at political tightrope walking. He also inherited Britain's worst economic crisis since World War II, including a state of emergency that had darkened the country for four months, a three-day work week and a month-old coal strike that severely...
...play and increase its accessibility. But reversing the process is more difficult, because some means must be found to compensate for the forfeit of all the film techniques. The Loeb Persona doesn't try to make up for these lost ingredients, and is content to deal only with those bare bones of Bergman's film which did not depend on his camera.

Bare hospital walls were covered with giant murals of characters from children's books and television programs-Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat, Charlie Brown and his friends, and the Flintstones. The X-ray machine was labeled "Batman's Superanalyzer," and nurses were given brightly colored smocks...
...Leader Moses David stays as elusive as Howard Hughes, making contact with the members only in his weekly epistles called "Mo Letters" and through what might be described as fundamentalist pornography. Berg's poem Mountin' Maid, for instance, is 300 lines of awful doggerel urging women to bare their breasts. Sample line: Can't we leave those summits bare Without all that underwear...
