...happiness, living with the King in the grand, orderly, deep interiors of the palace. Nevertheless the other face of this setting, as of all the others, emerges at the end. A revolution against Lola's presence forces the King to leave her. The appearance of single figures -- first the Prime Minister's, then the King's, lastly hers--in the interiors, allows their orderliness to overcome the characters' free integration with them that was possible in two-shot. When only one figure is present, these spaces become oppressive, the partitions and columns assume more weight, and Lola flees. A scene...
...Mexican-American militancy has turned up a mixed pinata of leaders, some of them significantly more strident than Chavez. In Los Angeles, 20-year-old David Sanchez is "prime minister" of the well-disciplined Brown Berets, who help keep intramural peace in the barrio and are setting up a free medical clinic. Some of them also carry machetes and talk tough about the Anglo. Reies Lopez Tijerina, 45, is trying to establish a "Free City State of San Joaquin" for Chicanos on historic Spanish land grants in New Mexico; at the moment, while his appeal on an assault conviction...
...well as critics need someone to praise or blame for the total product. Given that need-and his new intellectual credentials-the director has become the focal point of film making.

...Japan's campaign to regain Okinawa is only a part of the problem. An acrimonious dispute over trade is moving to the point of showdown. The issue will be debated at a joint meeting of the U.S. and Japanese cabinet members in Tokyo this month, and again when Prime Minister Eisaku Sato meets President Nixon in Washington in November. The expanding argument centers on the protectionist policies of both countries, but the U.S. has brought the trouble to a head by pressing for quotas on textile imports...
...willing to make the quotas fairly liberal, provided that Japan would open its domestic economy more widely. Indeed, if the U.S. settled for mild textile quotas, the Japanese might permit U.S. auto firms to start joint manufacturing ventures in Japan, as Ford and Chrysler are already negotiating to do. Prime Minister Sato is expected to tell Nixon in Washington that the Japanese auto industry will be opened to outsiders by the autumn of 1971. Sato has urged Japanese business chiefs to make their economy freer for foreign competition, and more and more Japanese leaders realize that a first-class power...
