Kissinger's head has been showing up in quite a few places recently. The New York Review of Books also ran it, with a cartoon rendition of Metternich's body (clothed) to emphasize what it thinks of Kissinger. Kissinger himself has recently been seen in Saigon and Paris. Rayman claims that Kissinger was shown his head-on-a-cabdriver by an American soldier when he arrived in Saigon, so maybe he had something to think about while he was trying to get Thieu's head.

...colors are impressive, but Stanley Kubrick's film of the Anthony Burgess novel has the tone of a shrill scold, and is a visual and dramatic cheat. Malcolm McDowell as the lead thug has been praised for his performance, but can't help being more interesting than his supporting cartoon figures. No great achievement for director or actor...
