...unfortunate that it took the body of the UNESCO member states so long to come to their senses. But it was rewarding and encouraging to see intellectuals throughout the world, and especially those in France and the United States, protest and condemn the original decision. The efforts of many in the Harvard community, most notably Kenneth J. Arrow, University Professor, were consistent and noteworthy; and they should derive a strong sense of satisfaction from the righting of the wrong committed...
There is probably still another reason for America's official reluctance to deal with South Korean corruption. Those officials may well possess a sufficient sense of hypocrisy not to condemn foreign governments for the sort of actions that America has practiced for decades.

Dersu Uzala may be a shade over-inflated and simplistic, but it also has the clear resonance of genius. Kurosawa can find grandeur in the intimate as well as the infinite...
...looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do-and I have done it -and God forgives me for it. But that doesn't mean that I condemn someone who not only looks on a woman with lust but who leaves his wife and shacks up with somebody out of wedlock...
