...critical acclaim for his minimalist paintings after he moved to New York. Reaction from critics to his highly simplistic, geometric paintings has ranged from the New York Herald Tribune calling Stella's early work "unspeakably boring" to Robert Hughes of Time magazine referring to a 1978 exhibit as "the bravest performance abstract art has offered in years...
...that the Sandinistas should lift their nine-month-old state of emergency, which allows press censorship and arbitrary detention, and that they should end the "illegal and unjust" confiscation of property. Fiallos strongly defended the politically moderate Archbishop Miguel Obando y Bravo, whom he described as "one of the bravest men in Nicaragua." The prelate has been highly critical of the Sandinistas, although he still defends the spirit of the 1979 revolution that overthrew former Dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle.

...reporting--and turned to the stuff that neither television nor the more respectable print outlets were doing.

As for Falk, his character has managed to identify himself, in his own mind anyway, with another traveling entertainer, Pagliacci. That, however, does not prevent him from wielding a baseball bat effectively when he has to defend himself and gruff words fail...
Certainly one cannot traverse this banal movie territory and arrive at the essence of the campaign that supplies this film with its title. Historically, Gallipoli was a tragic epic. On this obscure Turkish peninsula, an outpost of empire was required to sacrifice the best and bravest of a generation in an ill-conceived, almost whimsical attempt to break the stalemate in the trenches of Western Europe. But the ground was wrong-too rugged-and the method of attack-an amphibious assault from small boats-entirely untried. The result was a stalemate as deadly as the one in France. All this...
