Chabrol again proves that he is a master of brutal counterpoint. Corpse No. 2, for example, is discovered on a cliff when blood drips onto a little girl's sandwich below...
...Lombardi's creed, and the scourge was his method. He elevated coaching to the level of mysticism, and his principal disciples-the Green Bay Packers-became the most spectacularly successful team in the history of professional football. Under his messianic lash, the Packers were the rulers of their brutal profession for nearly a decade; they won five National Football League championships (1961, '62, '65. '66, '67) and the first two Super Bowl games ('66, '67). They compiled an astounding won-lost-tied record...
...floor editorial room, a noisy, bare-floored relic straight out of Front Page, where editors shout and ink-stained copy boys scurry. A few feet away from Fairchild's scarred, wooden desk sits Publisher Brady, who starts the day at WWD by calling the top editors together for a brutal analysis of that morning's issue.

He recently aimed a backhand at Abercrombie & Fitch because they did not stock tennis shorts...

The best of The People Next Door is the brilliant, low-key camera work of Gordon Willis, whose...
Until three centuries ago, before the great clans were broken and the brutal clearance policies of the late 1700s forced Highlanders to emigrate and make way for sheep, every McPhee in the world lived on a tiny island 25 miles off the western coast of Scotland. Among them were the ancestors of John McPhee, an American writer who has been responsible for several fine books of reportage, including last year's tennis classic, Levels of the Game. All his life McPhee had heard about Colonsay. In the spring of 1967, taking his family along, he finally went there...
