...effecting the tenants' slow turnaround from paralyzing fear to embattlement, the organizers of tenant resistance met with their most serious obstacle: convincing their fellow tenants that to win the battle they only had to stay ensconced in their apartments "and say no. No to all intimidation. No to harrassment. No to the tireless rumormongers." Overcoming the obedience to authority of the neighbors was so difficult that by the time the small nucleus of organizers had succeeded, the number of occupied apartments had fallen from...
...audience will be responsible for creating its own realism; like Godard, he favors a fade-out to black between shots, allowing his viewer a space to fantasize within the action. The total result, however, is Fassbinder's own. The overall feeling he evokes is simple, clean-cut and slow-paced, but enough shots identifying the artifice or the absurd are cut-in to indicate Fassbinder's love of camp as well. Mother K.'s daughter is seen almost exclusively through mirrors, applying lipstick, mascara, brushing her hair back in the mirror or a car floating eerily through blue space. Traditionally...

The U.S., however, did warn the Soviet embassy in Washington that "future violations [by Russian vessels] would make their ships...
...only do we have four first balls," Veeck said, in a broad grin, "we have 20,000 more. Everybody wants to throw out a first ball, so I've bought all these harmless Styrofoam baseballs. You can throw one out yourself, if you'd like." After a slow, Styrofoam hailstorm, the Sox jumped ahead of the Boston Red Sox. Ralph Garr in left and Zisk in right misplayed fly balls, but Ken Brett pitched strongly, and Veeck's patchwork heroes won 5-2 before a noisy crowd of almost...
