...reforms in the nation's welfare system. If enacted and if successful, the changes?measures liberal Democrats have often talked about ?could become the major domestic accomplishment of his Administration. In a persuasive TV presentation, he spoke of a "New Federalism" in which "power, funds and responsibility will flow from Washington to the states and to the people." And he put forward a plan for federal-state revenue-sharing that could eventually make the slogan mean something...
...Mohammedanism in East and West Africa. But Portuguese sailors of Prince Henry the Navigator also dutifully carried Catholic missionaries with them on their 15th century voyages along the coast of Africa; King Nzinga of the Congo became a Catholic a year before Columbus discovered America. The ebb and flow of colonial fortunes kept the coastal missions weak, but a start had been made.

The new quality in their playing was the ability to sustain an idea to its conclusion. The "Dumka" section, a long movement, was well controlled, well balanced and one's interest was held...
...personal behavior, and Jannings' blindness to the globe behind him appears simultaneously with a restriction of depth that expresses the limitations of his moral and perceptual experience. The sudden manifestation of death (which had existed before the film began) in the canary is part of the film's smooth flow, a dramatic event quietly noted and celebrated (in the bird's cremation). The theme of a box-like object or set whose dark exterior contains a bright space inside returns later in exteriors of the cafe which seem Expressionist: the hero wanders through the shadow-filled darkness barred from light...
