Long Queues. Such gloom is widespread, reports TIME'S Herman Nickel. "Surveys reveal that well over 1 million Britons [out of a total population of 56 million] now express a firm intention of emigrating; 4.5 million are considering it. There are long queues waiting for immigration permits outside the Canadian and Australian High Commissions. An exodus of the sizable American community has already begun...
...naked under their clothes, blood coursing under their skins, all of whose exposed heartbeats together would drown out the united voices of the machines." The pictorial result was a labored and rather masochistic fortissimo, executed in the belief that feeling was all: jagged lines, dissonant and fulgid colors, heavy gloom.

DeMille would be coarsened to death. Every inch of the surface glitters with an enameled vitality, rigid and sparkling. Moreau's favorite theme, that of fatality and evil incarnate in women, was also...
