...second set of facts justifies in part the "oppression" of those Arabs now living in Israel (oppression so harsh that the standard of living of those Arabs who remained in Israel from 1948 is now among the highest of any group in the Mideast). This fact is the record of Palestinian terrorism against both Arab and Jew over the past 25 years. Patience and hard work are required to solve the problems of the Mideast -- qualities which Israel, certain elements notwithstanding, has always been willing to provide. But in the face of continued Palestinian demonstrations of "good faith" like Munich...
...Antoine (Jean Duceppe) and Aunt Cecile (Olivette Thibault) drinking together--these could be excised and shown separately and would still be sensitive scenes.

The artist's image appears to be weakening, fading perhaps into the obscure position of one torn between styles and times, and caught, for all his talent, at a rank just below the greatest...
...Luce were to leave on their honeymoon they received an advance copy of the TIME review, which was, for perhaps obvious reasons, less harsh than the newspapers. "Harry paced up and down the room and finally said: 'Darling, no Marion Davies you. You know this wasn't a good play and I know that it wasn't a good play. I'm going to write a review.' " He did, but deciding that it was still too kind, she rewrote it. Their collaboration, which damned her efforts as "tedious psychiatry," appeared the following week...
