...incredibly imaginative and powerful manipulation of cutting rhythms and camera movement--and a wide streak of sadism. His films have been highly influential to Godard, among others, whose praise and tribute has lifted Fuller to a sort of cult status. Shock Corridor--starring no one you've ever heard of before--concerns a journalist who, in hopes of earning a Pulitzer prize, disguises himself as a patient in an insane asylum to discover the identity of a murderer hiding there. Other patients include a nuclear physicist, a Tennessee boy convinced he's in the midst of the Civil...
Everywhere, loyalty had be come the watchword. A President who had entered office promising that associates could speak their minds freely, both in the privacy of the White House and in public forums, had clearly heard enough.

For about 40 hours, beginning with his TV talk Sunday night, Carter was winning popular and political support for this economic moon shot. On Monday, in tub-thumping...
Shostakovich: Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk (Soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, Tenor Nicolai Gedda, Bass Dimiter Petkov, Ambrosian Opera Chorus, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Mstislav Rostropovich conductor, Angel; 3 LPs). Soviet critics thought they heard a masterpiece when this, Shostakovich's second opera, was premiered in 1934. Then Stalin walked out of a performance and they listened again. This time they heard "din, gnash and screech" (Pravda). The work was withdrawn, and Shostakovich pursued more orthodox ways. A sanitized version, unveiled in 1963, found its way to the West on records, but this is the first recording of the original score. Harsh, erotic...
