Public Uproar. The frictions between the U.S. and Thailand range from the conduct of U.S. soldiers to the conduct of the war against the Communists in Thailand's North and North east. Permissive in private but somewhat puritanical in public, the Thais resent freewheeling, free-spending American ways with women; they even frown on G.I.s holding hands with Thai girls in public. In an increasingly bitter campaign, the state-guided press is attacking Americans for consorting with "hired wives," siring "redhaired babies" and "deceiving girls and making them become prostitutes." Reflecting the public uproar, the Thai Cabinet two weeks...
Perhaps most disturbing of all is the sense in which Sontag seems to resent photography because it is a non-verbal, non-intellectual process. She argues repeatedly that the photographic experience is a surface experience that cannot convey real knowledge, cannot convey real understanding. She objects to the way in which "the photographer's approach. . . is unsystematic, indeed anti-systematic." And well it may be, but systematic thinking and intellectual rigor is but one form of truth. Photography--with its episodic glimpses, its focus on a single image in a world that is blurred and rushing past--presents another form...
Would-be actors resent finding themselves employed as objects, and the only consolation I can offer is that they have nonetheless played a major part in an intensely personal, equally harrowing, romance between the film-maker and what his mind projects through a camera onto a screen. Both films employ the simplest dramatic premises as foundation for an exploration into the diverse often-abstract preoccupations of their auteurs. Both Lady Jane and Stranger are as much about their creators as their subjects. They prove if nothing else, that the films of people whose cameras are too small for anyone...
...forgivingly accept Senator McCarthy's nonperformance in office is certainly subject to some extensive qualifications. People who have to call on our representatives for information, counsel and aid are not amused, and it goes beyond the affront of not getting responsive action to a request. What is most resented is that the work is shifted to already overburdened representatives-first Hubert Humphrey and now Senator Mondale. Considering McCarthy's undistinguished and largely negative record in the field of legislation, in comparison with the records of Mondale and Humphrey, we resent having to take the time of such...
...factor in the Czechoslovaks' insistence on neutrality was apparently the same sort of disaffection with the Viet Nam war that has been plaguing U.S. citizens. In Prague, the new-breed officials who are taking over believe that the conflict is in danger of getting out of hand, resent the levied cost of arming Hanoi, and seem to want a de-escalation of Communist involvement...
