...McNamara then sort of misused, I'd say, our position there in support of the small system. I think that we may have had many reasons to feel ill-used, but I didn't think the President ever owed me anything. I wasn't supporting him for his own sake or because of any personal trust. I did it for what I thought was the best interest of the country. You can question whether it was, of course, as things turned out.

...going to look at the past for ideas--for instance there are some changes proposed by Martin Meyer son and William Alonson when they were here six or seven years ago that were turned down which we want to reevaluate. Rapid change for its own sake is pointless...

El Topo is intensity for the sake of intensity. Jodorowsky's attempts at anything but horror are sad failures: a scene of Mara discovering the world outside of her monastic confinement looks like a bad Tampax...
