Given this, we begin to see why the Koumiko mystery cannot be solved. From the first shot of Koumiko, an extreme close-up of her eyes, she is seen as a love object. Since the film was edited in France (a fact purposely presented to the audience), it is clear that Koumiko is a memory. Marker is an outsider to Koumiko not only because he is a European but because he is a man. (The similarities between this and Hiroshima, Mon Amour are obvious and, I believe, intentional.) Solving the mystery would destroy the romantic quality both of the woman...
...rather than Cam Ranh Bay, the huge U.S. supply base that was Lyndon Johnson's touchdown spot on two trips to South Viet Nam. "Cam Ranh Bay doesn't count," he said. "That isn't Viet Nam." In Saigon, he proclaimed: "I believe the record is clear as to which side has gone the extra mile in behalf of peace. Now is the time for the other side to respond...
...GEORGE McGOVERN. The South Dakota Senator seems considerably less than galvanic, but in his brief bid for the nomination last summer as a stand-in for Robert Kennedy, it was clear that he was gifted with more outspoken political courage than either Muskie or Ted Kennedy.

His appeal to the middle and right of the party, however, would almost certainly be small...
...particular displayed the harsh beauty of the barren landscape around Tranquillity Base as strong unfiltered sunlight etched myriad craters in deep shadow. The 16-mm. motion-picture films of Eagle's touchdown on the lunar surface brought back that dangerous moment with tense immediacy. The movies were so clear and sharp that they allowed scientists to pinpoint the landing area precisely. And with the exact coordinates to guide them, astronomers at California's Lick Observatory were finally able to bounce a laser beam off the reflecting mirror left behind by the astronauts...
...that reason, I made preparations at the same time to cross the frontier by swimming under water. I have to mention all this so as to make it clear just how serious a matter it was and that no one else was, or could be, involved in my plans. I beg the Soviet Government not to persecute my mother, my son, my wife or my personal secretary. It is bad enough for them already, and it will be worse still, because my earnings were their only means of support. I beg you not to confiscate their possessions...
