...neither puzzled by him nor genuinely frightened. In particular, this vitiates the movie's climax. When the first Kong got his lady friend up on top of the Empire State Building, it was a matter of some suspense as to whether his rage might extend to her. When he saw her to safe ty before turning to make his last stand against the biplanes, it was a definitive revelation of character, a supremely touching act. In the new film it has been established that he is one of na ture's noblemen, and will certainly save...
...Production of goods and services, discounted for inflation, should go up 4.8% for the year; the rate will pick up to 5.6% in the fourth quarter. That would extend the expansion through eleven straight quarters, but the growth rate would not be as rapid as it has been at the same stage of recovery from past recessions.

Why the evening's main story does not instead get that extra moment of rounding...

In North Korea, we call for political revolution against Kim Il Sung and his dynasty to establish the democratic rule of workers Soviets; in South Korea we understand that only a Trotskyist party with a revolutionary program of independent workers struggle against capitalism and its Stalinist collaborators can lead the way to socialist revolution...
