...classes closed ranks before the common foe, the shared indignity. In the blackout, as in the blitz, no man was an island. A blanket on the ground, as Henry Moore recorded in his drawings of Londoners huddled in air-raid shelters, can be a great leveler. To complete the parallel, blacked-out U.S. cities were illumed by what Englishmen still remember as "a bomber's moon...
Senate seat in Illinois? The parallel appeals strongly to many Midwestern Republican leaders. Last week they were striving mightily to impress it on Chuck Percy, the Bell & Howell board chair man who narrowly lost his bid for the governorship in last year's G.O.P. debacle. Next year, they urged, Percy should enter the lists against three-term Democratic Senator Paul Douglas, 73, a popular paragon of liberalism and a comfortably protected member in good standing of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's well-greased machine...
This return to normality is something Prospero longs for. The pardon of his enemies is part of it. Vengence is God's.

With Dr. A. W. Pearson, Medical Director of the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Clinic, Dr. Taylor is currently observing 150 alcoholics under treatment, and so far has found similar results. In New York, Dr. J. Martin Semer, who is making a parallel study, reports with enthusiasm: "This is the first indication that a chemical can do anything more than make a patient sick when he drinks." Metronidazole, for still unclear reasons, mounts a two-pronged attack, working on both the mind and the body. Like Antabuse, it can leave a drinker violently nauseated, but before that happens it cuts down on alcohol...
...Pierre is all about. Pierre, married for fifteen years to Franca, falls impulsively in love with Nicole, a young air-line stewardess, setting up Truffaut's traditional triangle. His love for her proceeds by starts of pure sexual drive and by stops of convention and respectability. Truffaut, to parallel Pierre, turns on the emotion at the level of characterization and turns it off with a plot of continuous cliches. As Pierre becomes increasingly trapped by his situation, the tension between your sympathy and disgust makes you more and more uncomfortable...
