J.F.K.'s experience up to then had suggested that Khrushchev would share his fear of a nuclear exchange and pledge himself to do almost anything to avoid it. When he tried the idea on the Soviet boss, Khrushchev was untouched. Kennedy was shaken -but the stars in his eyes were gone...
...again. Certainly, the union's personal distaste for Gorski was one of the most serious blocks to productive negotiations, and the appointment of a labor relations specialist as acting chief could go a long way toward smoothing the feathers that Gorski continually ruffled.

Talk about bourgeois paternalism! Letting the workers profit from the boss's labor may be bad economics, but in the hands of Swiss Director Claude Goretta it is good cinema. Within its modest, admittedly improbable dimensions, Crook could scarcely be more deftly done...
