Crossroads has long been almost a paradigm of black communities in South Africa, and its history a parable of the agonies and anomalies of apartheid. For ten years, blacks have streamed into the area and patched together flimsy huts out of odds and ends--bits of wood and plastic, old garbage bags, corrugated iron and cardboard. Most of the settlement's residents were "illegals" from the impoverished government-created tribal homelands of Transkei and Ciskei, which offer no employment, no money and no food. Almost as fast as the blacks kept pouring in, the authorities kept pushing them back, smashing...
During a jampacked rally following the parade, Mondale recalled Harry Truman's march in a similar parade 36 years ago and how the paradigm of presidential underdogs had found sustenance in the crowds, if not in the polls. "There's something stirring," Mondale said. "The people are listening . . . They're concerned. They're involved. They're ready to vote, and we're going to win this election."

In it, Cassavetes also creates an answering male character, Sarah's brother, who has taken up womanizing in an attempt to ward off the chill he feels gathering in his bones. It is not an entirely successful characterization, partly because such males have become a cliché, but mostly because Cassavetes, the obsessed film maker, does not really understand certain less exalted obsessions that may distractingly come upon a man. His character neither fully...
