...lives to secure tiny fields for their children? I get from Womack's book the same feeling I have gotten from watching campesinos in other parts of Mexico talk about land. It is not something you love or hate, it is a part of you, and as you would fight to stay alive, so you would fight to protect you land from dismemberment. Only such strong feelings can serve to explain how Zapata and his followers could have made the terrible, ruinous journey they made. Their revolution demanded of them a self-sacrifice which few of us, with our theories...
...shot put, Benka had to fight some of the toughest competition in the meet. Winner Carl Salb of Kansas set a new meet record of 66' 3/4", bettering Randy Matson's old record by almost three feet. Kansas stars also swept second and third places with heaves of 61' and 60 9 1/2", compared to Benka...
Heinemann formed his own small party to fight against German rearmament, but West German crowds hooted him down, because of the suspicion that his movement was being subverted by Communists.

Now their rights as members of each group had been thrust into conflict. To oust Mitchell would leave legal aid agencies powerless to help...
Furious, Lena picks a fight with Börje, who takes off back to the city in his MG. At film's end, the two have paid a joint visit to a delousing clinic and have effected a kind of Pirandellian reconciliation, applying less to their roles in the movie than to their extracurricular relationship. Intercut with this dreary dramaturgy are endless man-on-the-street interviews conducted by Lena ("Do you think that Swedish society has a class system?" "Do you belong to the labor movement?") and lots of shots of Sjöman making the film...
