Center of the storm was Liberty City, a sprawling area of mostly rundown storefronts on the northwest side of the city. This was near where McDuffie, a former Marine and the father of three children, had lived. White motorists who strayed into the area were hauled from their cars and beaten. Police found one man with his ear and his tongue cut off and a bullet wound in his abdomen. A red rose had been stuffed into his mouth. Near African Square Park, a car repeatedly drove over two white men who had been beaten up and left lying...
...last week's meeting, Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca and President J. Paul Bergmoser were driven up to the White House's northwest gate in a wine-red, four-door Dodge Omni (24 m.p.g. city and 31 m.p.g. highway). They not only dramatized their company's commitment to small cars but successfully upstaged their GM and Ford colleagues, who arrived in larger, albeit "down-sized," Pontiac and Lincoln cars. Right behind Iacocca came the United Auto Workers' Fraser in a compact, light blue Plymouth Horizon, with the $7,200 sticker price still on the window...
...odds over Afghanistan, there is little chance of progress on other issues. The U.S. is likely to maintain its embargo on grain and advanced technology sales to the U.S.S.R. Though Washington last week approved Moscow's purchase of $5 million in American equipment for oil drilling in the northwest Pacific, the Administration claims that no highly sophisticated technology is involved. What also is likely to remain frozen is SALT II. When asked about the nuclear arms treaty at the confirmation hearings, Muskie said that Senate ratification is "an impossibility at this point...
...films (notably The 39 Steps in 1935 and The Lady Vanishes in 1938) gradually became more subdued, replaced first by the broody romanticism of movies such as Rebecca (1940) and Notorious (1946), then by the assured slickness of Rear Window (1954), To Catch a Thief (1955) and North by Northwest (1959). It was in the middle of that last group that, in two superb, underrated films, The Wrong Man (1957) and Vertigo (1958), he directly, quite humorlessly, confronted his belief that injustice will be done and that nothing is what it seems to be. Psycho, in 1960, has no moral...
...that central to his accomplishment was his utterly unforgettable imagery. The boy unknowingly carrying a bomb on the bus in Sabotage; the chases that bring pursuer and pursued to final grips in such unlikely places as the British Museum (Blackmail), the Statue of Liberty (Saboteur), Mount Rushmore (North by Northwest) and on a runaway carrousel (Strangers on a Train). Recall the crows gathering menacingly in a playground behind the unseeing Tippi Hedren in The Birds, or Jimmy Stewart wrestling with his fear in a church steeple in order to rescue his lost love at the end of Vertigo. There...
