Royal is now as much a fixture on the Austin campus as the University Tower. Texas alumni and undergraduates are easy to please; so long as the Longhorns win, they are as content as well-fed dogies.

Jean-Luc Godard would certainly resent the comparison, but he makes movies the way some manufacturers make washing machines-with planned obsolescence.

Le Go/ Savoir features Jean-Pierre Léaud and Juliet Berto sitting around a TV studio engaging...
