...contraception is, in effect, an ironical move to weaken further a basic principle of the Christian faith: that every human life has worth. It has always been the tendency (whether sound or unsound) to value items in proportion to their multiplicity or scarcity-value increasing with the rarity of the object and decreasing with its abundance. Thus the explosion of the population has tended to cheapen human life in the eyes of many. It becomes increasingly difficult to say "thou" to a mass of flesh that bumps and pushes and encroaches more and more on free space, sacred privacy...

The optics of a fast zoom shot are wondrous in that the audience is left with a feeling of simultaneous movement toward action and away from it. At the same time that we move to a higher vantage point with a wider angle of vision, we are jerked away from the luxury of watching action in sharp focus detail. The effect is one of ultimate suspension, in every sense of the word, and the greatness of the ending is a consequence of the perfect...
