...that Schmidt had "lost control 50 of himself." In a final campaign bout last week, Schmidt and Kohl traded invectives during a four-hour television debate which consisted largely of mudslinging. "Your actions cannot be those of a normal being," growled Kohl. "What you're saying is total, shameless falsehood, which doesn't surprise me," fumed Schmidt...
...modern-day Naziism--of toeing the corporate line in silence. He is also willing to equate his situation to that of other historical figures. In his letter requesting a formal hearing, Brown-Beasley wrote: "Your 'investigation,' gentlemen, was not a search for truth at all, but rather a shameless 'cover-up.' It will go down in the annals of illegality together with the 'investigations' associated with the irregular court-martial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus in France, and the (mis-) trials of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti in Massachusetts, against the injustice of which latter infamy Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter...

The hoofing is exuberant and surprisingly adept, even if Paul Williams' musical score is a little slick. The whole movie...
...fact at their peril. John O'Hara's book has the spine of a skyscraper, with big-city sleaziness reflected in every panel of the glass-curtain wall. This is a Brechtian book in which a small-time heel, Joey (Christopher Chadman), with his naive boasts and shameless buttering-up, is letched onto by a rich, man-eating tigress named Vera (Joan Copeland), who loves him enough to stake him to a night club, but who coolly leaves him before he can leave...
