...Other cities share the tensions and fears that Yorty capitalized on. Mayoral elections this year and next in New York, Cleveland, Newark, Detroit and Atlanta could turn on substantially the same emotions. With Sam Yorty's example so clear before them, other candidates may well be tempted to exploit the racial issue with all the fervor of a Sam Yorty...
...There is a fascination in society at large with sex and violence, with drugs and insanity which both influences the student militants and provides them with a noteworthiness which they exploit to the full. If students protest because of an idea or position and do so in orderly and rational form, they do not receive much public attention. But if they shed all their clothes and walk around naked, this makes news all over the nation, whatever the case they may, or may not have had.

It invites audiences to laugh at a pathetic, driven man, while the real clowns peek out from behind the cameras...
...World War II exploit, the flight was instead the latest example of the effectiveness of the private air force owned and operated by Japanese newspapers. Pilot Kumon flies full time for Asahi, Japan's largest daily (circ. 5,350,000), and his flight last week brought the world its first news, complete with pictures, of the U.S. Navy's massive move to protect electronic spy missions off Korea.

...these are in one sense just good film-making; they exploit a given dramatic situation. Choosing a certain camera angle or a certain lighting merely extends the expressive possibilities which the script offers the director. But in Ulmer's case exploitation becomes flights of pure imagination. In one scene Karloff goes to put out the cat. He walks down a dark hall into a gallery lined with glass cases. Passing from one, in which a blonde woman in a white frock is suspended, to the next, his reflections in the glass and the woman's frame each other and make...
