...What a sense of balance and equity there is at the U.N. and our State Department! Nigerians kill Biafrans, Russia invades Czechoslovakia, Arab terrorists kill Israelis, and Israel bombs airplanes and a terminal without killing one person. Who does the U.N. condemn? Israel. What a travesty of justice...
Oldest member of the Sirhan defense team, at 73, Parsons won his law degree at the University of Southern California. In 1935, he defended a murderer named "Rattlesnake" James, who tried to kill his wife by holding her foot in a box full of rattlesnakes. To play it safe, James dispatched her by drowning. Parsons managed to keep his client alive for seven years after conviction in a day when appeals were hard to come by. As for his defense of Sirhan: "It won't be the first time I've defended someone free," he says. "There...
Under certain circumstances it is right to kill. At Nuremberg the German leaders were tried for "crimes against the conscience of humanity" for what they did to the Jews. They were members of a legal government, and, in a real sense, only followed orders, and had clearly believed what they were doing was right.

Don't attempt to inject meaning into this tale of a Super-thief and his sexy girlfriend who inhabit a sumptuous underwater playground which makes Dr. No's look like Rindge Tech. It doesn't matter: film-making as slick and out-landish...
...against the decanter." Half from fear, half from the desire to have the child Jan cannot give her, Eva sleeps with a friend (Gunnar Björnstrand) who has become a partisan leader. Jan discovers the couple and becomes a gross caricature of himself. Formerly, he could not even kill a chicken; now he contrives to empty a revolver into the partisan; soon he becomes a thief who has no compunction about shooting a youthful soldier for his boots. The monstrous metamorphosis is Bergman's allusion to the shrunken intellectuals of World War II who could attend gas chambers...
