...feel he had done anything wrong. That renewed Martin's rage; he approached reporters to excoriate the outfielder. Not content with that, he again tracked down writers waiting for a team flight and delivered the fatal lines. Jackson and Steinbrenner, said Martin, "deserve each other. One's a born liar and the other's convicted...
...last straw. It is unclear what set Billy off, but after the Yanks' 3-1 win in Chicago, he attacked both Reggae and Steinbrenner. He told Reggae, on his first day back, to shut up. Then he said that Jackson and Steinbrenner deserved each other, calling Reggae a liar and Steinbrenner "a convict"--a reference to his boss's conviction a few years back for illegal contributions to Richard Nixon's wonderfully clean 1972 campaign. It's not nice to call your boss a convict, even if it's true. Martin knew what he was doing, though; there...
Speaking slowly for effect on television, pugnacious Communist Party Chief Georges Marchais last week called the nation's Minister of Justice, Alain Peyrefitte, "a liar.'' "That's a good start," responded the Minister mildly. A few days later, Premier Raymond Barre derisively branded Marchais an "Ali Baba," whose economic program was pure fantasy.

Gaullist Leader Jacques Chirac had earlier described as an unsavory plot the alliance of small parties supporting President Valéry Giscard...

As McMillan points out, his personality made him an unlikely recruit in an assassination plot that would require accepting orders, obeying plans and working with coconspirators. Instead, she believes he acted alone to affirm his uniqueness the only way he knew how-by violence...
...moviegoer's response to Dirty Hands could be measured graphically, the piece of paper would read like the polygraph printout of a bumbling liar. There is no even pace to this film, which features more peaks and valleys than a postcard of the French Alps. The task of sketching the outlines of the three characters and their tension-packed relationships makes for a plodding introduction to Dirty Hands, but the story suddenly picks up when the adulterers decide to carry out their macabre scheme. The inevitable police investigation maintains the interest level for a while longer before the film enters...
