Beyond that, of course, are much larger questions about the difficulty of trying to engineer another country's security or national unity. One U.S. officer recently described his method of helping to pacify Vietnamese villages as one of "jumping into bed with the district chief"?which pretty well sums up how many Americans come on in the eyes of the peasants. Most of all, dissenters object to the warm breath of the U.S. "presence" in the program. "It is hard to give the illusion of sovereignty," says Rand Corporation Anthropologist Gerald Hickey, who has been in Viet Nam since...
...uncertainty of government assistance has forced Catholic educators to consider new solutions, short of closing the schools down altogether. One method is to eliminate lower grades. Cincinnati's Archbishop Karl J. Alter pioneered large-scale grade elimination five years ago, when he cut out nearly all first-grade classes from archdiocesan schools. For smaller cities, where public schools have space and the laws allow it, "shared-time" programs may work.

The result...
Toni used relatively restrained camera movements, at most slow pans (excepting one frightening tract), to create a world of permanence--the land, into which all the characters' actions flow. This formal method realizes the plot to give the film a feeling of fatality an fixity. The world of La Marseillaise is a world of motion. But the moral structure of the films--Renoir's view of the place of personal feelings and actions in the world--is the same. Both films are created, closed works, the setting of La Marseillaise being as purely evocative (again, one couldn't draw...
