...summit, Nixon maintained the outward show of friendliness that Brezhnev established with his airport greeting. The President's first stop Friday was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Moscow, where he placed a wreath of red, white and blue flowers. On the way back to the Kremlin talks, Nixon persuaded his Soviet security guards to allow him to get out of his car to greet the several hundred Muscovites standing behind the steel barricades near Red Square. The guards reluctantly let him out in front of the State Historical Museum, and he strode over to the barricades, touching...
...women to preserve what passes for dignity and self-respect--usually at each other's expense. Their problem, as Brecht shows it, is that they have no understanding of dignity beyond the sham that passes for gentility among a capitalist society's ruling class.

...natural form. Coleman's earnest, nearlaughable effort to play the role to its hilt--munching the very last of the grits at the oh-so blue-collar diner, mouthing the curse-words he once choked on in front of his students--bespeaks his own faith that only these outward circumstances distinguish the working...
