...Emil Schulthess, an internationally renowned photographer, has produced a remarkable book of aerial views that portray his native country in all its contradictory beauty. For Swiss Panorama (Knopf; $50) he used a specially designed remote-control camera suspended from a helicopter to make color pictures that are almost three-dimensional in effect. The pictures, some shot from above 20,000 ft., are breathtaking in clarity and detail; in a shot of the legendary Piz Palü, fresh marks of alpinists' climbing irons are clearly visible. Swiss Panorama ranges from cloud-topped peaks and neatly patterned farmland to well-preserved...
...driven by the compulsions to fornicate and dominate. A bear of a man, Franz makes love with feral ferocity, strapping his mate around his body, biting her neck in carnivore passion. It takes a special kind of actor to play Franz, and Lamprecht, who looks like a cross between Emil Tannings and Hermann Goering, has the stolid majesty for the role. As for Fassbinder's actresses, they have always been lush galvanizers who surrender voluptuously to the jagged contours of melodrama. The viewer surrenders, just as willingly, to Trissenaar, a Diane Keaton-type, but with brains and guts...
...government and opposition leaders agreed on anything, it was in their revulsion over the rise of political violence that had led to the death of a Peace Now demonstrator, Emil Greenzweig, 33, in a hand-grenade explosion outside the Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem two weeks ago. Begin called the killing a "loathsome murder," while Deputy Foreign Minister Yehuda Ben-Meir of the National Religious Party told the Knesset how shocked he was when he saw TV reporting of "rabble" throwing stones at Peace Now demonstrators and then entering a hospital in an effort to prevent the injured...
...Friday, at about the time Ariel Sharon was telling an audience in Tel Aviv that "the mark of Cain" had been planted on his forehead by the week's events, several thousand Israelis attended the funeral, in the port city of Haifa, of Emil Eliyahu Greenzweig, 33, the victim of the grenade attack of the previous evening. Professor Elkana Yehuda spoke of Greenzweig, who had recently received a master's degree in philosophy and mathematics from Hebrew University, as "a symbol of love and tolerance." Yehuda expressed his hope that the current national debate would not lead to "the destruction...
...clad, sporting a James Coburn smile with advanced caries. This would-be gallant is given to abrupt whinnies and wistful meditations on the good old days: "Remember lingerie?" The refiners are led by Pappagallo (Mike Preston), who carries the weight of his predicament with swaggering dignity, and Feral Kid (Emil Minty), an eight-year-old who growls in anger, purrs with pleasure, performs backflips into burrows and wields the demon boomerang. His counterpart in the marauders is Wez (Vernon Wells), a Feral Kid gone wrong. War-painted and Apache-coiffed, Wez has a mind that performs acrobatics of sadism...
