Father Kavanaugh's major polemical weapon is the sweeping generalization. Ignoring the fact that great juridical decisions can rise to the level of philosophy, he boldly declares: "The legal mind is a restricted and impoverished mind which cannot move without a law to support each flicker of its brain."

It is achieved by a variety of techniques: camera angles, simple positioning, and just plain props like the bookstore window...
