...last week--four students had waited in vain for him at Lehman Hall for his regular Thursday afternoon discussion over coffee. "My excuse is excellent, but my face is red." Promising to do better next time, Mendelsohn steps to the podium, and, in his unusual, clipped accent, begins to dissect the complex interactions of science and society...
...going to be possible to dissect each of the songs in an attempt to understand Beck's guitar work. There was always too much going on. No matter what he's playing.

Some, too, are notable mainly for refreshingly offbeat candidates. Taken together, four major contests constitute a political pastiche of urban America...
...Henry Fonda are all in their 60s; they are juvenile leads when they discuss the director with terror and awe. Better still is Ford himself regarding Bogdanovich with rue and deflecting questions about his aesthetics with "Yeah," "No" and "Cut." Ford knows what Wordsworth knew: "We murder to dissect." Damned if he will assist this callow intern in his operation...
