Sadat went on to draw a ludicrous analogy between his bad luck and that of his predecessor ("May God rest his soul") in 1967. A month after the end of the Six-Day War, said Sadat, an Israeli armored brigade was sighted edging up to the Suez Canal in what looked like an attempt to cross it. Nasser ordered Egyptian bombers to crush the supposed attack. "Unfortunately," Sadat explained, "they were unable to spot their targets because of fog that had gathered over the whole area. The fog spoiled everything...
...make it to the movies. It displays more skill, in all technical departments, than the subject matter deserves: The fact that Peckinpah can manipulate photography, cutting, setting, staging, acting like the Bergman of Shame and Anna matters not, if, in the final analysis, he can't fully express his soul. If Peckinpah wants to stick with his violent obsessions, he should light into the institutions most permeated. He should also be "cruel" enough to show developed characters in the throes of the forces he lets loose...
...appeared on stage together since 1969. That, if anything, would kick life into a sluggish art form. And if more were needed, Bob Dylan was there sporting a new social consciousness. (Something he would pursue with his single "George Jackson"). Billy Preston brought along his own brand of soul, while Eric Clapton and Leon Russell, never to be left out of any meeting of the giants, were there hitting the note.

What became the smaller official wing of the army, led by Chief of Staff Cathal Goulding, argued that gunplay without political activism would lead to further defeats. This line led to increasing cooperation with Ireland's minuscule Communist Party and an eventual decision to form a "national liberation front." The so-called Provisionals of Sean MacStiofáin insisted on military means first. Although most of the I.R.A. units opted for the Provos, the division between the rival groups was and is bitter. For a time, army...
...sense, that is what happens in Why A Duck? The illustrations are the still life of the party. But as the brothers deliver their lines, now entombed in comic-strip balloons, both timing and inflection-the soul of cinematic wit-vanish. Those unacquainted with the films cannot hope to comprehend the fond archaeology of Why A Duck? No, this is a trigger for memories, a bright souvenir for the ages-the ages well above 30. Plus those youthful Marxists who flyspeck television listings for sporadic, interrupted revivals. Other coffee tables need not apply...
