...also very dangerous. Repression is psychological anesthesia, and like real anesthesia it becomes dangerous when the drugged patient exerts himself--feeling no pain, seeing no evidence of death, he is unaware of and unprepared for the danger from within. By not admitting that pain exists, we never find a cure, just as by not admitting that a war has been declared we never create peace, and by not admitting that imperfection exists we never reach utopia...
Weisband and Franck are, respectively, a professor of political science and a professor of law. Their analysis of the problem is more convincing than the cure they suggest-a constitutional amendment requiring not only that Cabinet members be picked exclusively from Congress but keep their congressional seats even while serving the Administration. This is similar to the British Cabinet system under which ministers are also Members of Parliament. If they leave the Cabinet, they remain M.P.s with a prestigious forum in which to plead any case, and may also be looked upon as leading critics of government policy...
...vacuity of their existence with rich and "devilishly" handsome men. The performances in the film are on the whole superb. Burgess Meredith is excellent as Harry, Faye's father, who has come to Los Angeles after a long career on the vaudeville circuit, now reduced to selling bogus cure-alls door-to-door to the indifferent and openly contemptuous rich. He is the compulsive actor, always "on", even in the midst of his death throes, only rarely exposing the layer of bitterness which rages underneath his act. Contemplating the reasons that he was never able to succeed in show business...
...comedy with elements of the absurd, in which the heroes and the victims are animals." He says that for some years he has been upset and disgusted by the enormous number of experiments carried out on animals, many of which seem quite unnecessary to him. "If you experiment to cure a specific disease, say work with cows in order to cure cow diseases. I would accept it. But many of them seem just to advance knowledge in a general way." Adams recognizes that "general knowledge" and "eventual cures" blend together in a large gray area; but he doesn't feel...
...girls and a good deal of bother about incest. James Mason, as the plantation's Old Massah, must spend much time with his bare feet pressed into a prostrate black child's naked stomach because the doctor has assured the old man that this is a sovereign cure for his rheumatism. In the end all the white principals are required to exterminate one another in expiation of their sins. The final bloodbath is depicted in the same vulgar manner used to present the indignities suffered by the blacks...
