...Some political observers believe that his resignation from the Senate?even if he is overwhelmingly supported by the Massachusetts public?would only help that process by demonstrating his sincere contrition. " 'Never' is a long time," said one moderate Republican Senator. "Kennedy has been hurt, but we're all so close to it this week that I just don't think anyone can judge so soon just how badly he's been hurt." The electorate's memory, of the good as well as the bad, can be surprisingly short...

Now while we have no right, given the style and the technical different relationships, there is no excuse for spending half of our viewing time in close-medium one0short, mainly contemplating Paul Brennan's dejected visage. The best documentary camera work (Ricky Leacock, sometimes) is distinguished by its description of the whole in the detail, the capturing on hands in Leacock's Mothers day, for instance).
