...reversal: you can still pore them out of newspapers. While the accounts may come across rather authoritatively in print, they are also apt to be vague, and scratching around in reference books often provides no historical clues to these struggles. Instead of offering a sturdy explanation, the journalists unendingly dissect the latest round of titular shuffling (the latest on Teng is still going strong after six months) until someone composes a new variation on the theme of personality clashes and shifts within the hierarchy. Personality and power, after all, make good copy...
Loose ends don't really detract, though, because the film's final clinching shot throws open all doors to analysis. Hari has allowed Sartorius to dissect her, leaving only a note, and Kelvin has decided to return to Earth, he approaches his home, where the film began, and in the doorway kneels at his father's feet, head buried in his lap, one of those poignant Bergmanesque poses.

Middle-class Italians, once the party's backbone, grumble about its ineffectiveness and vulnerability to scandal and corruption. Italian editorial writers ceaselessly dissect the party's "crisis" and discover new symptoms of its logoramento-exhaustion...
...work force in the nation's health services, but overwhelmingly, they are nurses and technicians?helpers rather than leaders. Only 9% of physicians are women. Female med students still find much to complain about. Says one: "Guess what part of a male cadaver I'm assigned to dissect first." But, says Dr. Frances K. Conley...
