Nixon's cautious conduct of the surtax fight paid off early in the week, when the House on a 210-to-205 vote approved the Administration's bill to continue the levy for a year and repeal the 7% business investment tax credit. The vote appeared closer than the issue actually was; G.O.P. leaders had been assured by many members that their votes were Nixon's if the measure actually faced defeat on the floor.

The vast U.S. market should be opened more fully to Latin American goods. Nixon should seek to reduce congressional weight on the conduct of foreign relations, because the punitive legislation that Congress has enacted drastically reduces the President's room for maneuvering.

Opposed to this is the analytic style (Griffith, Hitchcock) which probes the moral conduct of the action by cutting together short shots of different distances (e.g., from long shot of a group of people to a close shot of one reacting). The latter style attempts a rational understanding of people's action, dramatic events, by setting up rational positions in the characters, through which one can penetrate and divide up the action. The former gives...
