...pressed with renewed vigor for the White House to withdraw Knowles. House Republican Leader Gerald Ford, who had been quietly opposing the appointment, and Texas Republican Senator John Tower reminded Nixon of the A.M.A. campaign contributions. Other Republicans echoed Ford's opinion that "there must be somebody less controversial who is equally qualified." It was also pointed out that this was a bad time for the President to antagonize usual allies on Capitol Hill. In the Senate, a shift of a single vote could affect the outcome of the anti-ballistic-missile controversy. In the House, Nixon needs conservative...

...generally vicious society (filled with burning automobiles and corpses) becomes one of simple conflict. The setting assumes a more independent existence and begins to attack the audience directly, without the characters' mediation. Shocking events come to rule the film, so that it becomes far more singly directed, far less ambiguous, than Godard's earlier movies. And it becomes less personal. With no complexity possible in the meeting of characters and environment through their sensibilities, idealism is slaughtered, characters lose their humanity--and society becomes unrelievedly anti-human...
