...marquis of Orphans of the Storm personifies the insanity of decadence as surely as Hawthorne's Chillingworth contains the full perversity of hellish guilt. At the roots of his complex plot construction lie details quite at odds with the pure sentiments to which his characters aspire. His films form an elaborate psychological autobiography through the diverse characters between whom they alternate...
Horse opera. Clever don't you think? And the Hoo-Doo cult of North America. A much richer art form than preaching to fishermen and riding into town on the back of an ass. And that apotheosis.

Their pitch, he noted, varied by microtones and "this...

With one plant in Spain, Westinghouse is negotiating for another in Belgium as part of an effort to form a $1 billion-a-year electrical equipment combine on the Continent. Last year the De Gaulle government prevented Westinghouse from buying Jeumont-Schneider of France, a key company in the consolidation plan, but Westinghouse hopes for a friendlier decision from Pompidou...
