Unfortunately, Herzog never goes deeper. We hear nothing but his superficial ranting, and his greedy expression as he listens to his records, all of this has about as much resonance as the picture of the RCA dog cocking an ear for "His Master's Voice." In establishing Fitzcarraldo's motivation so haphazardly. Herzog undermines the rest of the film at the outset: instead of being drawn into a grand quest we are forced to watch an overblown whim...
...candidates' styles could not be more dissimilar. Danforth, an uncommonly shy campaigner who appears on the stump infrequently, is an ordained Episcopal priest and an heir to the Ralston Purina dog-food and cereal fortune. He is emphasizing his efforts to help two beleaguered groups-the state's auto workers (with increased tariff protections against imports) and its farmers (with rural enterprise zones).

...outlined again the areas of agreement and requested flexibility on his part. He complained that the U.S. negotiators were all agreeing with the Egyptian demand that the Sinai settlements be removed, and that this was no way for mediators to act. Then he pulled from his pocket the dog-eared copy of Sadat's demands and began once again to delineate its unacceptable portions. I tried to convince him that this was not the final Egyptian position. Begin said he did not see how honorable men could put forward one thing publicly and a different thing privately...
