...White Sulphur Springs, where some Democratic Governors even hinted that it would be wise for L.B.J. to retire instead of running again in '68. The President reacted by issuing a quiet invitation that brought to the ranch a delegation of nine Democratic Governors, led by Iowa's Harold Hughes. Once he got them there, Johnson gave them the well-known Treatment...
...rebellion last year of Ian Smith's white supremacist regime was complicated by one fact: most of Rhodesia's 220,000 whites are of British stock. Had it been otherwise, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson would not have been afraid to use British troops against "our kith and kin." Nor would Smith, whose father emigrated from Scotland, have felt it necessary to declare Rhodesia's "continued allegiance" to the Queen-and keep the Union Jack flying.

...movie, never mind the big budget and the famous names, is exactly what Memorandum is. The plot is generally aimless, the lines are merely cute. Incredible that it was written by one of Britain's most brilliant playwrights, Harold Pinter (The Caretaker, The Homecoming). Did he do it to make money? No doubt, but he also did it to make propaganda. Editing the facts of life in modern Germany to fit an evident prejudice, Pinter blandly but incessantly insinuates that all Germans are still Nazis at heart and can hardly wait to go to heil again...
