...fact, figures in no fewer that three incidents of fictional Harvard ecstasy. Sokolov's protagonist Alan is well versed in its wisdom, as his girlfriend notes in a letter to her best friend--a letter that reads as much like a course catalogue as an account of sexual conquest...
There will be no negotiations over the Falklands in the near future--for the British, that would be a travesty of the lives lost in conquest--but England will eventually relinquish the islands as surely as it now controls them. The conviction that the Falklands are Argentinian is not just the province of a fascist dictatorship, but the heartfelt belief of all of Argentina's citizens and the concern of past and future democratic governments.

It would seem that what Jean-Luc Godard called the Coca-Colonization of Europe made an early conquest of Eastern Europe too, worming not just into jeans but into dreams. The ecstasy of fear flashes on a teen-ager's face as he dares to sass a sadistic teacher, and one can trace the punk-heroic contours of James Dean. Seven years after the Soviet-crushed revolution, Hungarian youths want only to escape...
