...number of paths proceeding from the pyramidal cells [triangular nerve cells in the cerebral cortex]." These were taken to explain "the wide range and the multiplicity of ideas that developed in the brain of Lenin and, particularly, his capacity for quickly getting his bearings when confronted with the most complex situations and problems ..." Conclusion? "The key to a materialistic view of Lenin's genius has been found...
That's about as complex as the dialogue and characters get in this chic, wanton thriller. To which Director William Friedkin might riposte, "They're called movies, you know, not chatties or peo-plies." L.A. does move, notably in a brutal, bloated car-chase sequence pilfered from Friedkin's nifty The French Connection. In his God's-eye-view shots and acrobatic love scenes, he also pays tribute to the styles of Martin Scorsese and MTV. So the villain, Counterfeiter Willem Dafoe, is no more rotten or less picturesque than the hero, William Petersen. So everybody stinks. It matters...
...ranks along with the Grand Coulee and Hoover dams as one of the century's costliest and most complex public works projects.

China's foreign policy skills will also be tested as it manages what it calls its "peaceful rise." Will it revert to traditional Middle Kingdom ways of thinking about its neighbors and thereby generate a backlash...
...confusing set of antics that, if nothing else, certainly kept audiences curious. In one scene, woman presumably playing the children’s mother came to center stage in floral prints, only to be knocked down by her tennis-playing husband. Perhaps in a commentary on the complex family and career burdens on women, tennis balls flew across the stage as the exasperated mother futilely tried to control her children amid the chaos, eventually succumbing to being undressed by her children. In fact, by the end of the composition, all 4 dancers had managed to somehow find a reason...
