...sure. Yet the Israelis cite some frightening figures detailing the extent of Moscow's involvement, which has already cost the Kremlin close to $3 billion and is growing more expensive by the day. They claim that Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq, the so-called "frontline" Arab countries, now possess 3,750 tanks, mostly Soviet T-54s and T-55s; some 4,000 big guns, ranging up to 122-mm. cannon and 160-mm. mortars; and 1,230 planes, mostly MIG fighters but also Sukhoi and Tupolev bombers. Israeli estimates of Soviet equipment in the Middle East have sometimes been...
...usual with Godard, many of the images-like a climactic one of the bloody corpse of Eve Democracy being borne aloft on a camera crane -are crazily beautiful, and the photography is impeccable. Godard makes films quickly and cheaply. If they lack consistent intellectual quality, they possess a vigorous timeliness.

Great poets possess the power of sensuous and formal mental penetration attaining the condition of music, and of religion- faith in universal, immanent, translucent truth. America has taken the most parochial habit of mind in the wide world, and made the wide world serve it. We are losing our words for universality, except...
...yearning, and the desolation of insufficient man. Antony's love will not let him be worldly; his honor will not let him be otherworldly. Neither East nor West is finally rejected, because each is imperfectly noble. East and West reconcile in souls which couch on flowers, in souls which possess the poetic intensity to summon such a vision. The heroiclyric movement of Antony and Cleopatra is from vain love, to shame, to regeneration. This corresponds generally to the threefold mystical way to salvation of purgation, illumination, and union. The even more general movement is from conflict with self, and therefore...
