Time for the finals. This one was close, real close. Conventional wisdom made UNH a slight favorite, but no one knew what to expect from psyched-up Dartmouth, which had never won a play-off game before this year...
...provoking and pointed in its satire of "enlightened" modern ideas of criminal reform. Some find the violence sensationalized, but Kubrick gives it all purpose. The perfectly realized vision of London as the decadent plaything of roving gangs turns macabre as Kubrick overlays Rossini, Beethoven, and Purcell music. Don't expect to leave feeling reassured or satisfied; Kubrick doesn't answer the questions he raises about society's right to curb individual freedoms when the individuals smash, batter and rape.

When OPEC sees how much money is made on its oil by in-between traders, the producing countries will have no political choice but to increase their own prices and divert more oil to the spot market. That was clear from the moment the Iranian crisis broke. Our Government was made well aware...
