...Rather, his consciousness of their distance and illusory nature grows. On their very wedding night Dietrich separates herself from Jannings with a veil. His relation to her becomes more purely visual as he goes through hell; the scope of his experience grows and grows, his vision becomes stronger and clearer as his life changes. Finally he is forced to play a clown in his home town while Dietrich backstage messes with a young actor. The ringmaster steps on stage, but Jannings refuses to come from behind the gauze curtain which partly obscures him. Sternberg cuts to high-angle shots...
...will not long be able to resist making practical use of his closest celestial neighbor. As soon as they are able, for example, astronomers will be competing to book passage to the moon. There, freed at last from the obscuring mantle of terrestrial atmosphere, they will immediately get a clearer, more revealing and more leisurely look at the universe around them...
Relieved that nothing stronger had been attached to the NASA bill, one Harvard administrator recently commented, "I think it's a good sign--I hope." Just how good a sign it is, and how long-lived Congress' moderation on campus disturbances is, should be clearer by the time appropriations hearings are over.

The ensuing lecture on guerrilla warfare is intercut with shots of a wild intellectual who had earlier attacked them for being so bourgeois.

...Patience. It is hard to imagine a man with a clearer eye or a more far-ranging mind. Leonardo might stop work on a painting to dissect a cadaver and make meticulous studies of its musculature so that he could better understand the twist of a body or the shape of an arm. He took as his province the total knowledge of mankind (which was then manageable), and painting was only a part of it. Even when he was famed the length and breadth of Italy and crowned heads and prelates were besieging him for paintings, he pronounced himself...
