...country is a crossroads of racial bitterness. Black-nationalist guerrillas use it as a base for raids on the neighboring white supremacist regimes in Rhodesia and Southwest Africa. In turn, white agents infiltrate the country to spy on them. Zambia's 3,800,000 blacks resent the white minority of about 65,000, many of whom are Rhodesian and South African citizens who still hold the managerial jobs...
...people who are climbing back in are marked by their wetness. Offered a towel by one of the new people, a girl pointedly says no thank you, I haven't been out. Rationally, we 27 are glad that there are now 100 people in the office, but emotionally we resent them. As people dry out, the old and new become less easily differentiable, and I mourn the loss of my identity. I am trying for a field promotion in the movement so that I will not fade into the masses who jumped and might jump again...
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.

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...
