...rather than as tenants. We must shape the physical design and administrative procedures of public housing to make that possible. We should shift our thinking about management responsibilities to provide for cooperative management or even ownership of publicly-subsidized housing by tenants. We should be wiling to test new methods of producing techniques, scattered-site development, the "turnkey" method of housing built more quickly and efficiently by private builders and then sold to the housing Authority upon completion. All of these possibilities are before us now in the form of authorizing legislation. We have only to use them imaginatively...
Godard further made the subject of each film work as its method. Thus Pierrot le Fou is a romance (subject) realized in flowing colors, soaring music, and a hero whose journey through this setting is the motive and organizing force of the drama (method). Individual alienation becomes the method of Breathless through a hero who conducts a very detached investigation of his surroundings. Weekend's subject is general alienation in a capitalist society, and its method is to follow characters through a bourgeois countryside. But these characters, being alienated themselves, have no serious moral responses to the terrible events they...
...worse than any other instrument of war; as long as war is a possibility, they say, all instruments must be developed or at least tested. There are differences with CBW, however.

Last week he graduated summa cum laude from Wittenberg with a straight-A average. "This way of going to college has all sorts of advantages," he says, "not the least of which is that I've got three more years of life to play with...
Either way, audiences saw a man whose magic is perhaps beginning to recede into his method. Part of the trouble may be that he is rusty; Graham himself complained that the ten days in the Garden, however demanding, hardly gave him time to warm up. And part of the trouble may be that he is reaching too far for sophistication. One embarrassing slip suggested how scholarly allusions can misfire. When he mentioned "that great German philosopher, Goethe," Graham mispronounced his name to rhyme with growth...
