Bobby Sands died a hero, but no one paid any real heed. Oh, they watched it on t.v., and thought for a minute how sad it was that these fanatics insisted on continuing to kill each other, or, like good Harvard students, considered how complex the whole problem must be. But complexity is an excuse that means nothing to the 20,000 people, maybe more, who watched them bury Bobby Sands, watched his coffin go by draped with the proud tricolor of Ireland and the black gloves and beret of the army that fights to free it.

...boat's own government. In September 1980 the Guard began a resolute new enforcement policy.

That was a dead giveaway that the VIP passenger was none other than ailing, 74-year-old Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev, whose battle with the infirmities...
Alas, Fellini's inexhaustible stock of socko images still wows the impressionable, and forces everyone else to pay heed as his boring yet insistent voice announces verbal and visual abstractions as profundities. He justifies the gaucheries and incoherence of City of Women by passing it off as a dream work-a cliché from the time movies were as short and silent as this one is long and loud...
