...office. Now, we assemble in a large, well-appointed briefing room in the West Wing, where either Ron Ziegler or Gerald Warren - often as much as an hour behind schedule - mounts a platform, stands behind a lectern, makes the daily announcements and accepts questions." Says Fischer: "Johnson used to roam frequently around the West Wing, call reporters into his office for impromptu talks, and hold 'man-in-motion' press conferences as he strode around the White House lawn. Nixon, on the other hand, allows 'photo opportunities' only a few times a week and is more secluded...
...Fire teams" using crossbows, wrist-rocket sling shots, automatic weapons and homemade grenades would roam the streets of Miami attacking police, knocking out electric transformers, and firebombing stores.

The rules of sovereignty-and survival-are strict. The difference between life and death can often depend on whether a boy walks on one side of a street or the other. Forays by an individual or a group into the territory of another gang...
Lumet's direction strives to give to material that is neither edifying nor suspenseful a fake profundity, stretching it to unconscionable lengths. But at least he allows his actors plenty of room to roam. Connery's confession to his wife (Vivien Merchant) of his long struggle to save his sanity, and her recognition of unconscious complicity with the forces that are driving him crazy, is a gripping scene, full of what might be termed home truth. Trevor Howard, as a fellow officer investigating Connery, plays an almost equally strong scene as he tries to get Connery...
