...accrues to one of his social and economic standing. What else was needed? For Nixon, it is enough that a President deliberate in solitude and have a nice, pleasant representative of the firm like young Ronald Ziegler (see THE PRESS) out front talking in advertisingese about the President being "cool," and his "meeting with staff" and "reviewing...
Nine-Month Wait. Despite some internal debate, the Administration has shown more inclination to defend its strategy than to change it. Paul McCracken, the President's chief economist, insisted last week that the economy is entering "a period of transition" and that "we must not lose our cool." He has impressive evidence to bolster his argument. The growth of the output of goods and services has slackened. Profits are expected to fall in this year's third quarter. Housing, industrial production, new orders for factory goods and stock prices have declined. Over lunch at Pittsburgh's elite...
...Godard would certainly resent the comparison, but he makes movies the way some manufacturers make washing machines-with planned obsolescence. Only a few years after their release, Godard films become museum pieces.

Le Go/ Savoir features Jean-Pierre Léaud and Juliet Berto sitting around a TV studio engaging in a lot of Mickey...

But Browning's hopes crumple like a dynamited bridge, as the policeman's death touches off an uncontrollable swirl of events...
...surprising that Downey also likes nearly all of Stanley Kubrick's movies. Kubrick, like Downey, never travels in airplanes and does not believe in order. In Space Odyssey, where a cool-calm computer turns into a cool-calm homicidal maniac, Kubrick pulls the rug out from under seemingly sound systems in the same manner as Downey does in Swope. And the people who called 2001 plotless and pointless are bound to say the same thing about Downey's film...
