...Hedgehog and the Fox is one of eleven articles and lectures collected in Russian Thinkers, the first of four projected volumes of his selected writings. Although the subjects (Tolstoy, Turgenev, Bakunin, Belinsky, Herzen) were creatures of the 19th century, Berlin's acute intellect addresses one of the most difficult questions of the 20th: Are men so hungry for deterministic Utopias, for the comfort of all-encompassing systems, that they reject the insecurities of the fox's diverse world for the awful predictability of totalitarian structures...
...syncretized, digested as an alien but allowed point of view, to be heard but not listened to. For the same reason the film makes no argument, no appeal to the liberal mind: A. espouses no revolutionary ideology-no Marx, Lenin, or Mao-only obscure observations of Pascal, Rochefoucauld, and Herzen. Also The Revolutionary remains on a level of abstraction that defies quibbling over the analysis of specific locales or historical events. Williams simply focuses his efforts against cultural syncretism, and avoids drowning in bourgeois reasoning and rhetoric. His anti-ideological polemic takes a form similar to the thought of Fanon...
Erhard was enchanted by all the Texas trimmings-including the gift of a ten-gallon hat and a choral rendition of Tief in dem Herzen von Texas. But he was even more taken with Johnson himself.

...theatrical tradition. She never quite made it. A film director named Karl Hartl met her in a cafe, felt the burn of her blowtorch intensity, and offered her on the spot the lead in the picture he was casting. She took the job, and pretty soon any number of Herzen, as the romantic rumors had it, were beating in Dreivierteltakt. She was simultaneously supposed to be in love with Producer Ernst Lothar, with a cameraman named Günther Anders, and with the famous star of the Burgtheater, Attila Hörbiger. In any case, the picture (The Angel with...
Wiley turned on a vigorous campaign, handing out his card to people in the streets, flattering the ladies. Once, at the Leyse Aluminum Co. plant in Kewaunee, he genially seized a labor union leader, waltzed him around the floor, singing, "Du, Du, liegst mir im herzen," as factory workers chimed in with "Ja, ja, ja, ja." Davis, meanwhile, turned on an equally dynamic but better-financed campaign, got in his share of the stop-and-shake technique...
