Change is also the theme of the campaign led by Clouthier, 54. At P.A.N. rallies supporters chant "Si, se puede" (Yes, it is possible) as if it were a hymn; T shirts bear slogans like MY STRUGGLE IS FOR DEMOCRACY; and posters ; call for reforms that include, often on the same placard, the abolition of corruption, the national debt, inflation and pollution. At a recent rally in Mexico City, speakers emphasized that P.A.N.'s support crossed class lines. But there were few Indian faces among the thousands present, and gold crosses and religious medallions were worn conspicuously along with designer...
...Soviet soldiers march into a Ukrainian village and, at their leader's heartless command, shoot down a deserter. Just another businesslike day in the life of Commissar Klavdia Vavilova (Nonna Mordukova). But even in a revolution that boasts of sexual equality, women will get pregnant. Vavilova must bear her child in the hovel of a Jewish tinsmith (Rolan Bykov) and his family. Their enforced intimacy sparks a cultural exchange: the commissar becomes feminized, and the tinsmith's wife (Raisa Nedashkovskaya) becomes a bit of a feminist. Outside, though, the Jew's children are taunted and tortured in a kind...
...film in 1967. But the Soviet authorities, accusing Askoldov of "promoting Zionism and . . . imperialist chauvinism," shelved Commissar, and Askoldov has never made another picture. Only last year, as glasnost was opening the door of artistic freedom, was the director able to free his kidnaped film. Commissar won a Silver Bear at the 1988 Berlin Film Festival, though the Soviet press neglected to mention it. A true movie hero, Askoldov is bold enough to fight for small victories and to hope for a final vindication: that even the Soviet public may soon be able to see a film whose very survival...
Perhaps it is anachronistic to mention only men. Maybe boxing is an anachronism: the manly art of self-defense. Take it like a man. Be a man. In Archibald MacLeish's play J.B., Job told the Comforter, "I can bear anything a man can bear -- if I can be one." But nobody talks about being a man anymore. When it comes to bloodlust, female gills pant up and down too. In the matter of boxing's fascination for writers, gender has certainly not been disqualifying. Still, the suspicion persists that males secrete some kind of $ archetypal fluid that makes...
...more homeless, more AIDS victims, more drug addicts, more prisoners, more garbage, more toxic waste. The result is budget-busting pressure for more services that many people do not want in their vicinity. But beyond the fiscal debate, there is a painful ethical dilemma for many communities: Who should bear the burden of the common good? As often as not, neighborhoods are rising up to resist responsibility, and in some cases are turning to violence. "Too often we assume that the human being can achieve a good life without attending to the collective good," says Dr. Willard Gaylin, head...
