...disappoints. What is bothersome in the book is bothersome in the nation. As White himself explains: "It is difficult to be precise about the nature of the nightmare year out of which came Nixon's election. No phrase, no thought can catch, hold and bind together in one frame all the roaring events, the blood and disorders, the inflation and uprisings...
...above his head seems to lock him into his chair, between the curved table-top before him and the gleaming surface of a globe behind. While cracking an egg he whistles to his canary; hearing no answer, he rises and goes to the cage. His head fills half the frame; the cage, the other half. His landlady comes in, takes the dead bird, and saying "no more singing" throws it into a Franklin stove whose open door reveals a brilliant light within.

He advocated a halt to "unnecessary duplication" in planetary exploration and suggested that when orbiting laboratories...
Golf Balls. A case in point is The Fox, in which Schifrin used a lone flute with a sad, fragile melody to frame the film's lesbian theme against its bleak, Canadian country background.

In the recent Che!, he suggested the primitiveness of the Bolivian...
...effectively eliminates narrative point of view, that cherished mainstay of the narrative form. The confused character-actor names go a good way towards breaking down the wilful suspension of disbelief which every audience is supposed to have. The game itself serves to destroy the scared concept of the inviolate frame. At one point, Piccoli looks at the television screen, sees his companion running towards a window, rushes off-screen to save him and immediately appears himself in the center of the frame due to the position of the television...
