...entertainment, it offers irritation, in place of subtlety, didacticism. Against the passivity of film as diversion, it seeks to provoke an active and critical response. That is the justification for the irrealism of Godard's plot and characterization, for the constant interruptions of the film's movement, for the ceaseless polemic, for the refusal to let the film come to any satisfactory climax...
...vitamins. The dark curly hair is clipped short, and the eyes glisten with moist alertness. In dress, Castaneda is conservative to the point of anonymity, decking himself either in dark business suits or in Lee Trevino-type sports shirts.

Invasions and ceaseless bombing of Cambodia and Laos, the drastic and brutal air strikes on North Vietnam in late 1970 and 1971, and a grueling three-year pacification program in South Vietnam's countryside are the concrete results of Washington's failure to gain acceptance of its puppet regime at the Paris talks...
