...deny so derisively the right of the Senate and the good American people to question our role in the Viet Nam war? What you do to Senator Fulbright is an atrocity. Senators Fulbright, Church, Gore and Morse appeal to a lot of us as sane, sober thinkers...
Since federal spending is increasingly shaped and controlled by the White House, the Budget Director is one of Washington's most powerful men. He is the President's man, the only high official not confirmed by the Senate. Tennessee Senator Albert Gore charges that the Budget Bureau operates like "a czar or dictator," and Texas Senator Ralph Yarborough says: "It's really dangerous-it's not safe for the country."

Japanese directors seem peculiarly able to treat extremes of violence, neither leering nor covering up the gore. In Throne of Blood, as in Ichikawa's Fires on the Plain or Kobayashi's Harakiri, the violence leaves one shaken and, in something close to the Aristotelian sense, purged...
