Amidst its famine of pleasures, War Lord affords a feast of anachronisms, the choicest assigned to his lordship's quarrelsome sibling (Guy Stockwell, brother of Dean), who ends one clash with the withering retort: "I hate your knightly guts." Scenarists Millard Kaufman and John Collier share credit for this adaptation of The Lovers, a somber play by Leslie Stevens that lasted less than a week on Broadway. The movie version runs on and on and on, but proves nothing whatever about the survival of the fittest...
...invasion, convoys of troops were ordered to dig in along the Zambesi River border with Zambia, causing President Kenneth Kaunda nervously to declare a state of emergency and order his own small army to dig in on the other side "as a protective measure." Although the chances of a clash seemed slight, it was just the sort of ugly situation that through some unexpected fluke might lead to violence-and a need for British troops...
Long Regret. Johnson got what he wanted-but he paid a price. Though the clash did not wipe out the good will that Johnson has accumulated among businessmen-partly because the President carefully stayed behind the scenes-that old feeling will never be quite the same again.

...commonplaces of modern sociology is that "the best lack all conviction, and the worst are full of passionate intensity." Descriptions of spiritual battles, when written at all, often feature the melancholy field of action "where ignorant armies clash by night." And it is another commonplace that the classic hero simply does not and cannot exist any more. The above comparison with Herzog was applicable in this sense: the anti-heroes of books like Herzog and Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano are characterized by their in-ability to live nobly. The armies cannot be clearly defined; the heroes achieve their...
