...successful, a policy based on tenacity depends on two things. One is sufficient Israeli military strength to forestall any large-scale resumption of shooting by the Arabs. Israel's military leaders believe that they possess such strength. They are convinced that Egypt's army and air force are not noticeably better than in '67, when they were decisively defeated. The Israelis also believe that the broad band of approximately 3,000 Soviet-built (and in many cases Soviet-manned) SA-2 and SA3 missiles on Egypt's side of the Suez Canal can be neutralized-though...
...individual woman and for the children. The nuclear family seems to be the worst possible way of bringing up children-the child's whole early experience of life is dependence on one woman-if the child is a boy, his goal in later life will be to possess such a woman, and if the child is a girl, to identify with such a woman.

He is crude in the sense that a Michael Curtiz or Roaul Walsh was crude, aiming for direct actions which are emotionally arousing but possess a sort of integrity: they don't score moral points. At one moment, a Teutonic Savanarola is thrown onto a witch's pyre of his own fashion, but there is no audience gratification-this though the priest, aside from the town merchant, is the film's leading villain. The motivations...
