...step further Pauline Kael's argument that Kane's News of the World search for the meaning of "Rosebud" is a conscious parody on the Henry Luce operation that had supplanted Hearst's more idiosyncratic satrapy: in Millhouse, electronic journalism has become the dominant mouthpiece for the promulgation of bogus truth. Sonorous, unseen voices intone the latest espionage finds; hydra-headed clumps of radio and TV microphones become the pulpits from which bulletins and statements issue forth: ubiquitous, invisible cameras whisk us from the streets of Whittier to the airports of Latin America to the state rooms of the White...

Last year this Albanian resolution won a majority vote yet was defeated by a U.S. parliamentary maneuver.

...outrageous tone of Bear's sham-skins makes it clear that the Institute is not one of the bogus diploma mills that peddle apparently legitimate degrees. Still, the Office of the Attorney General of California has now advised Bear that it is concerned over the possibility that some day, someone may use a Fillmore doctorate fraudulently. Rather than fight in court, Bear has returned $400 worth of orders. He plans to sell his idea to an English company and already has a prospective diploma, suitable for framing, with the legend...
