...root of these failures lies in Fassbinder's theory about the relationship between politics and film in general. "I used to think," he says, "that if you brought people up against their own reality they'd react against it. I don't think that anymore." By the time he made Mother Kusters Fassbinder, influenced by the films of Douglas Sirk, had begun to think that the primary aim of film is to satisfy an audience and then bring in politics. He states that "there is no objective reality" and, therefore, unlike most Marxist artists he cannot be interested in portraying...
...mean and brutal god who torments Hali. Weiser's performance tops the cast. Her countless hideous facial expressions, all of which keep the audience frozen in their seats, make her performance as a wicked god convincing. Her acting is so demonesque that it causes the other players to react to her intensely. At times however, her cruelly bellowing voice too often strikes the same crescendo with each sentence, and becomes monotonous and irritating...
...morale question" is not something the University can resolve simply by appointing a more pleasant person than Gorski to run the department.

But did the Russians have to react so negatively? Why, moreover, did they not ask for more time to study the U.S. options? To these questions, Administration spokesmen had no convincing reply...
...grim reality of flying today is that the margins of error are slim indeed and that any mistake can create a holocaust. The skies are filled with jumbo jets carrying hundreds of passengers. Closing speeds can reach 1,000 m.p.h. or more, making it difficult for humans to react quickly enough in the event of error. The congestion at major airports is so great at peak hours ?late Friday afternoon is especially bad?that air controllers have to order incoming jets to stack up at altitude intervals of 1,000 ft. The landing is a carefully choreographed minuet...
