This glossing over isn't really a bad thing. The Brink's legend has entertained people for more than 20 years now, and there's no reason to try to do anything more than that with the movie. Friedkin was not even a bad choice for the man to do it. Although he has a reputation from The Exorcist and The French Connection as a calculating director who stops at nothing to wrench an audience's guts, he also has done this sort of nostalgic tribute before. The Night They Raided Minsky's was a rollicking adventure about vaudeville...
Last year the ACSR did not initiate any shareholder resolutions, putting off the question until this year. This year it will not be possible to initiate any because we started meeting so late. The reason given was that not all the members had been selected. That explanation seems weak to me. Why wasn't the selection process begun earlier...
...corporation hearing, and I believe the same thing now. This year's progress has not even met my meager expectations. Half of the committee has studied, though not evaluated according to plan, three corporations. That's as far as we have gotten. A unified treatment is necessary for this reason and others which I listed in Appendix C of the last ACSR report...
Last year, after considerable discussion, the ACSR recommended that the corporation vote Harvard's shares in favor of some resolutions favoring modified withdrawal of some companies.

...heavy-handed, I am a sous'd gurnet. But even if the play has been heavily cut, many scenes transposed, some themes unexplored, others smashed over your head, the trappings of this production are never less than fascinating: Sellars never lets his audience go. Maybe there's no reason for Enobarbus to make love to a character called Fortune (a fatalistic composite of minor officers, advisors and soothsayers), but then I'm not sure I understand the (flamboyantly) sensual Enobarbus of this production at all (although on his own terms, Topher Dow plays him quite well...
