...decision" against Israel, and now by telling the army that the time to fight has come, is painting himself into a corner. Using another image, an old U.N. hand last week put it thus: "Sadat, like Nasser before him, has developed a habit of hanging himself on a hook and then pleading with the major powers...
...rest of the cast is merely an adjunct to Bedford's performance as Arnolphe. Sharon Smith is appropriately lovely and beguiling as Agnes; David Dukes is appropriately dashing and silly as Horace.

Kennedy, declared Northern Ireland's Prime Minister Brian Faulkner, "has shown himself willing to swallow hook, line and sinker the hoary old propaganda that I.R.A. atrocities are carried out as part of a freedom fight on behalf of the Northern Irish people." Other critics quickly pointed out that Kennedy's proposal for unification was unrealistic, and that even the Irish Republic's Lynch has said only that he hopes unification can be achieved...
