It was a mistake for Vance to spring a sharp revision of the weapons ceilings, which had been approved by Ford and Brezhnev at the 1974 Vladivostok summit, on Soviet leaders whose basic conservatism and advancing age (Politburo average: 67) make them unable to respond quickly to changes.

Or maybe we expect something loopier from Friedkin, who prides himself on making slam-bang movies (The Exorcist, The French Connection) that are expertly designed and executed to appeal to us at a low, visceral level. Or-just possibly-Friedkin, despite the noisy response he made to critical hooting over The Exorcist, is answering...
