Concerning films of wide distribution this is still true. It is nonsense to assume that industry and government do not project their values through the cinema or that "art-for-art's-sake" is a meaningful phrase given the operative economic vectors of production in this environment. Even Zabriskie Point. more daring than most commercial revolutionary come-ons, blew up only the old ruling class, not the new hip bourgeois "radical" who invests in the movie business...

What About Kutamiya? Dayan did not have to explain whom he meant by Egypt's "foreign advisers." Every Israeli by now is able to translate such a phrase into Russian.

Moynihan chronicles the internecine struggle within the initiating camp concerning the philosophy of CAP. Moynihan conceived the title of his critique by paraphrasing the most confusing phrase of the document outlining the CAP. No one has taken credit for the description, "maximum feasible participation," which outlines the nebulous federal requirements concerning the involvement of indigenous poor people within their local...
