Feminism has had much to do with it, though not always directly. All kinds of eddies and crosscurrents have swirled around the practice and politics of sex in the past ten years. A feminist leader...
...after all, the director and cast can strive for emotional honesty to compensate for a lack of maturity or finely-honed technique; Sleuth, however, is an exercise in style, and it demands a display of brazen theatrical exhibitionism, a roaring hamminess firmly entrenched in technical precision.

The prospect, risky as it might be, did not bother many Christian Democrats as much as the step-by-inexorable-step Communist advance on power. But elections would doubtless be a trauma that neither Communist nor Christian Democrat would savor right away, and there are likely to be weeks of painful maneuvering and countermaneu-vering before they are willing to face that drastic ultimate step. In the meantime, the violent voices resounding through the streets of Italy can be counted on to add their own strident note of urgency...
