...that the defeat suffered by the Jewish lobby signalled a victory for the Saudi lobby, in alignment with American corporate interests. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) noted that the fuss over the so-called undue influence of the Jewish lobby comprised the most insidious form of anti-Semitism--an implicit denial of the right to speak out. While the AWACs sale might have a couple of positive economic effects--improving the balance-of-trade deficit, for example--this newfound capacity of Arab monarchies to determine the course of U.S. foreign policy should not go unnoticed...
...professors at this university who, although known as a great liberal and humanist, once blasted the entire population of South Boston as idiots and cretins because of the way in which they speak. Such "fair-weather liberalism" is not only offensive in its superficiality, but dangerous in its implicit assumption that persons without college educations are inferior and little more than a necessary nuisance to people like Mr. Mazumdar. American liberalism has a strong connection with education and intellectualism, a connection that often breeds a blind arrogance and goes far to defeat its preached tenets.

The man Bisset finally decides might be all right-he is, in the current fashion, younger than she is and without a traditionally masculine brain wave-dumps her for her friend's daughter. The conviction of its stars, however carries...
...behavior, at once coltish and wise, is an implicit commentary on his lugubrious single-mindedness. Lucie is a creature, as Rohmer sees her, of impulse and open air, while Anne is seen mostly in her cramped apartment, which can be seen as the logical extension of her cramped spirit. This, alas, is something François does not notice. The most the movie concedes him is the possibility that by sorting through his many wrong assumptions about the essentially innocent man he was following, he may have taken a small step toward extricating himself from his deluding passion. But like...
