...camera than they would otherwise. No such claims are implicit in the style of Grey Gardens--both of the main characters direct their attention, words, and action toward the camera. But one doesn't get the sense that the Beales' "performances" in any way belie their inner reality. Their performances are the reality--the personas they adopt, the way in which they wish to be perceived and the manner in which they construe their relationship all mesh to form the "truth" of their lives...
Even the painstaking habits that annoyed Redford on the set must seem worthwhile now. The director has patiently sought out the inner dynamics of the film's many short scenes involving characters who have no lasting relationship with Woodward and Bernstein or anyone else in the film. His ability to find drama in the way a cup of coffee is handled, in the briefest play of emotions across the troubled face of a reluctant informer, is remarkable and invaluable in preventing the film from being no more than a historical record, a documentary in the dullest sense of the term...
Forty years later a lack of rapport still was noticeable. In 1894 Sir Fred erick Lugard, who was to become Nigeria's first Governor, traveled to an inner principality called Borgu and succeeded in getting two treaties signed in favor of the British Royal Niger Company.

It is and it represents society and its structures, in particular those structures known as property and money, both of them extra-linguistic phenomena...It is a matter of the very largest moment for Dickens's development as a writer--and a testimony to his exceptional inner integrity--that he should, in the midst of his greatest celebration of his language and transcendence as a genius of language, engage himself imaginatively in those very conditions which were calculated most powerfully to nullify that freedom...
WHENEVER WALLACE wants to send another Albert Brewer to the showers, he wheels himself out and goes straight to the John Rawbons, spread over the dark inner continent of Florida. Some people who venture into that dark interior which begins at the Everglades and runs up the center of the Thumb past Tallahassee and Chatahoochee find the Rawbons. These are the Wallace people, who would vote for Wallace even if he were dead because of what he represented to the spreading rot of the North. Last week Wallace said that he would consider a black man for vice president...
