Maybe there isn't much on paper besides ideas, but in ideas, ultimately, lies the power of any presidency. And therein is the promise. He wants to try to manage the changes in this country, rather than react to them, and so he would like to spend more time and money on those underprivileged children in their first five years, to funnel some of the federal tax funds back to the statehouses and the city halls. Yet large questions remain. Can Nixon move vigorously from the planning and organization phase to action? Has he been too slow in addressing...
...which Fyodor stands looking up at Olga); and in these ways subtly influence and define people's appearances and actions. Here, however, the influence is one-way. People cannot change objects as they can change other people; objects resemble in order to mirror, to comment. Sirk's characters react at crucial moments against this unchangeability-with-mockery by smashing object (Fyodor's violin).

...been urging the oppressed classes to react militantly against their exploiters. How strange that when the thoroughly working-class police set aside their false consciousness at Harvard and club the sons of the ruling class, they are portrayed not as the agents of class-conflict but as fascist pigs. From accounts I have seen, the brutality of the police action consisted as much of psychological shock as of real physical abuse. Any abuse of police power is deplorable; still, if one wants to sponsor revolutionary, up-against-the-wall-type confrontations, one ought to accept the accompanying risks...
