When he asked for Begin's approval of this, Strauss said that he "met with negative results." In fact, the Israelis hinted darkly that rather than be pressured by the U.S. to back such a motion they would withdraw from the autonomy talks. From the five sessions held so far, it has become evident that the West Bank and Gaza leaders will not join the process without the approval of the P.L.O. But Begin's threat to withdraw from the talks was almost completely unexpected...

From Jerusalem Strauss flew to Egypt, where President Anwar Sadat stressed that any new U.N. resolution should not interfere with the autonomy talks. As Strauss was returning to Israel on Sunday, Begin's cabinet declared that it "rejects unequivocally" the U.S. resolution on 242. Such an initiative, said a cabinet spokesman, "contradicts the commitments of the U.S. to Israel." With an impasse thus threatening, there was speculation in Israel that yet another Begin-Carter-Sadat summit might be needed to revive the peace process...

...that attempts to fill in Willard's personality ex post facto on the sound track. That narration-alternately sensitive, psychopathic, literary, gung-ho and antiwar-is self-contradictory and often at odds with Willard's behavior. It does not establish the protagonist as a credible figure or begin to achieve Coppola's loftier goal of charting Willard's tailspin into psychological terror. Eventually, the voice-over commentary becomes a makeshift panacea for the film's many other defects: it hastily clarifies plot points and states themes that Coppola has uncharacteristically failed to develop through action...

...shoulders, got into the bed ... blew out the lamp, listened for a few minutes to the night sounds, and went peacefully to sleep, thinking of how surprisingly little time it had taken her to get used to life at Paso Rojo, and even, she had to admit now, to begin to enjoy it." Bowles' irony passes by like a night chill. The woman is not "getting used to" life at the ranch but perverting...
