...presents a stereotypical version of the key signers of the Declaration of Independence, together with the sometimes abrasive, sometimes soporific deliberations of the Second Continental Congress. With a practically nonexistent musical score, the show brings the heroic, tempestuous birth of a nation down to a feeble vaudevillian jape. One need pay no heed to the fact that it won a Tony award, but some playgoers apparently still...
Genuine differences exist over the key question of withdrawal of non-South Vietnamese forces. The N.L.F. and Hanoi demand unconditional evacuation of U.S. and allied troops with international supervision of the exodus. Washington wants joint withdrawal of U.S., allied and North Vietnamese troops with outside monitoring. While the N.L.F. tacitly acknowledges the presence of North Vietnamese forces south of the DMZ, the latest Communist plan merely proposes that the matter of "Vietnamese" military forces in South Viet Nam should be negotiated "by the Vietnamese parties among themselves." The N.L.F. hinted, however, that it might be willing to ask North Vietnamese...
...private campuses like Harvard and Columbia, most protesters are basically against the moral indifference of affluent America. Things are far earthier at the tuition-free City College of New York, where the great majority of lower-middle-class students shun protest and still believe in education as salvation -the key to affluence.

Though his image, emblazoned on medals, statuettes and key rings, has traveled literally billions of miles with Catholics, Protestants, Jews and even agnostics, he was one of 46 saints who were dropped from the calendar because there is no proof that they ever existed. Though they are still considered saints, the hierarchy can no longer officially require observance...
...seduction scene, for example, the foreground figures are backed up by cows and by trees and mountains in the far distance. For a hiking scene in the mist--the most illusory of conditions--rock outcrops in right foreground key the shot by giving us an immediate material object. Contrasting with the figures in medium distance against the far rock-ledge, all the objects together establish real space between them. For Stroheim there is no such thing as a general form or formal similarity between different objects. Each object it its material self, nor is there one kind of object...
