...Even with a normal-size screen, the camera, rarely moving in for a close-up or even a medium shot, tracks and frames the characters for a succession of strikingly beautiful compositions. And Kurosawa's time dilation--Macbeth and Banquo galloping endlessly in and out of the fog, or Duncan's pallbearers marching heavily up to the gates of his castle--shows the power that Hollywood in catering to the shortest common attention span, has sacrificed...
...start, he bought control in 1957 of a parts distributor in Houston and a small parts manufacturer in Grand Rapids, Mich., merged them to create Gulf & Western.

He persuaded Houston's John Duncan, a coffee dealer whom he had met in the commodities trade, to sell out his personal holdings and invest $112,000 in G. & W.

From San Juan harbor they were ferried by a U.S. Navy LST to the assault carrier Boxer, already en route to Dominican waters with the first contingent of marines. A Marine helicopter then flew them from the deck of the Boxer...
...week's end (and TIME's deadline) neared, communications became-next to bullet dodging-the major problem. Cable traffic was out, telephone service spotty. Duncan finally managed to get the copy out, mostly by courier to San Juan, thence by Teletype and telephone to New York. On Saturday, Caribbean Bureau Chief Edwin Reingold flew to Santo Domingo aboard a Navy supply plane, got his own view of the situation, picked up the final takes of the Duncan-Diederich files, and made it back to San Juan on the last plane...
