...more remarkable bits of staging was a film clip of Sherman being interviewed on two screens with a portrait hanging in the middle. The interchange of shots is bristling and in perfect rapport with the equally stirring language thrusts. Sherman is played by Tim Mayer who creates a wierdly fascinating character--the tortured and melodiously wicked psyche of a Historical Man, in the sense of a man who has tasted the feel of strangling men, and cannot forget...
...Paper-Clip Building. IDA was founded in 1956, after the loint Chiefs of Staff discovered that it did not have enough civilian experts to study all its weapons problems. The Institute, which is headed by General Maxwell Taylor, now employs 575 full-time civilian analysts in a high-arched, eleven-story building (dubbed "the paper-clip building") in Washington plus 50 communications experts housed in a Princeton campus building leased by IDA. Government agencies request IDA for specific research help; this year the Institute is handling 100 projects costing...

Yet one of the most incongruous moments in Dear Mr. Gable was a clip from the one big flop of his career, the 1937 Parnell. "Carry on my fight for Ireland. I charge you. See that Ireland is never defeated," said Gable on Parnell's deathbed. His acting was not equal to the role, and audiences chuckled when they saw the tough-guy trying to play the patriot. He picked later roles more carefully...
