...Nehru is "a banyan tree under which nothing grows." It also made clear that he is not fond of any member of his Cabinet except Defense Minister Krishna Menon. One reason is personal: only Menon is Nehru's kind of intellectual, like Nehru British-educated and capable of endless speculative, theoretical sparring. The rest are relatively unsophisticated, and Nehru finds little in common with them. Above all, most do not really believe in Nehru's rather mystical brand of socialism. Desai, for instance, is openly pro-Western and warns against socialism's tendency to "redistribute poverty." Most...
...endless, heart-stopping moment, the tall, slim rocket hung motionless -incredibly balanced above its incandescent tail. Slowly it climbed the sky, outracing the racket of its engine as it screamed toward space.

'You just put your work down, and don't forget your idea,' Mrs. Mullen says with her endless cheerfulness. 'We'll come right back to it after you've played...
...Veneto. "Nobody is leaving! We are all here to stay!" he screams at the climax of these proceedings, which, while handsomely degenerate, also manage to be disappointingly dull. Dawn brings the epilogue, the endless end of Fellini's wretched world. In frozen horror, the revelers watch the apocalyptic "beast rise up out of the sea" in a fishing net-a sinister, obscene, colossal devilfish...
