...Europe could be destroyed in a war, and this has been true almost since the end of the last war. But the TNF quite suddenly this spring became a focus of fear and suspicion. The fear is that far from deterring an SS-20 attack, the NATO intention to deploy weapons of similar range might actually provoke attack. The suspicion, nourished by the hard-line anti-Soviet rhetoric of the incoming Reagan Administration, is that the U.S. believes there could be such a thing as "victory" in a nuclear war and seeks the capacity to conduct the next war strictly...
When the Carter Administration committed the U.S. to the TNF, it also pledged a "two-track" approach -good-faith negotiations with the Soviets on TNF limitations while we were preparing to deploy the weapons. Secretary Haig has now promised the beginning of such negotiations no later than Dec. 15. An important debate within the Reagan Administration, pitting very hardliners against the medium hardliners, has turned on whether the U.S. should try to get its allies to agree to the "threat assessment"-what NATO is up against, weapon by weapon, front by front-before working out the NATO negotiating position...

So, before Congress breaks for its monthlong August recess, the Administration hopes to disclose what kind of missile and bomber forces it proposes to deploy to maintain U.S. retaliatory capacity through the rest of the 1980s and probably well into the 1990s...

After the simple shocks of Dressed to Kill, De Palma is out to deploy subtler strategies. As a result, Blow Out is less scary but more skillful. One sequence, involving a murderous attack in a Philadelphia train station, tantalizes with portent and discretion. From outside a toilet stall, we see only the victim's feet fluttering beneath the door and then falling still, the limbs of this defenseless animal at rest at last. And twice De Palma exhibits his favorite technique to suggest confusion and resolution: the camera describes circles-four, six, a dozen-around his characters, ribboning them...
