...outgoing Prime Minister Brian Faulkner. Suddenly deprived of office by Britain's decision, he first denounced any attempt by Westminster to run Ulster like a "coconut colony." Faulkner also showed up at a huge rally in Belfast of nearly 100,000 Protestants, which was summoned by William Craig, leader of the extremist Ulster Vanguard. Faulkner's presence lent a patina of respectability to Craig's demand for a massive civil-disobedience campaign. Then Faulkner reversed himself. "We must respect the law," he said in a statement issued on his last day as Prime Minister. "I must earnestly...
Jackboot Unionism. Protesting what they regarded as a sellout, 6,000 Protestant shipyard workers walked off their jobs and marched on Belfast's city hall, carrying Union Jacks and the red cross flag of Ulster. William Craig, the right-wing former Home Minister who heads the militant Ulster Vanguard, warned that "Ulster is closer to civil war today than it was yesterday."

...life. American women have been active underground film makers (notably Shirley Clarke, who directed The Cool World), and there are a number of successful European women directors, but in the Hollywood scheme of things a woman director is still an oddity. Dorothy Arzner started making pictures in the 1930s (Craig's Wife, The Bride Wore Red), as did Ida Lupino in the 1950s (The Hitch-Hiker, The Bigamist), but they hardly began a trend. Stage and TV Director Francine Parker, a spokeswoman of the two-year-old Film Committee of Women for Equality in Media, charges that in movies...
