...second flaw in Kramer's technique is the studied cuteness of his syncopated scene changes, which jump from a key word or object at the end of one segment to the same word or object at the start of the next. Coincidence is not a logical nexus, merely a clever one, and it's grating after you get the joke...
Worrying Accent. The bill, said the President, would "benefit substantially every state of the union, every segment of the American economy." What made it necessary was that existing U.S. trade laws fail to "assure ready access for ourselves ... to a market nearly as large as our own"; in the five years of its existence, the Common Market has created a new economic community in many ways as vast and promising as the U.S. itself.

Said he: "To many Catholics, the question of federal aid is a minor issue com pared to the great questions of medical aid for the aged or atomic warfare. Most Catholics, like people of conscience generally...
...most accomplished contemporary stylist in the English language-sometime satirist, religious romantic and biographer -is also a social historian of sorts. With The End of the Battle, Evelyn Waugh completes a trilogy of novels about a segment of Britain in World War II.
