...powers to dispatch U.S. troops abroad. It set up the Congressional Budget Office, which, together with the newly expert House and Senate budget committees, acts as a sort of economic shadow cabinet. At the same time, members of Congress developed a new self-confidence and a sense that sound policy can?and should?originate on Capitol Hill as well as in the White House...
...angry and amused, polemical and urbane, a cosmospolitan and Christian work. Yet, while Cox's personal faith gives the book coherence it could well lose him readers who are not so enviably optimistic as he appears to be about the future. There are a few passages that sound a bit too close to the "God is Great, God is Good" sermons. Cox's enthusiasm might disturb the complacent atheist.

Even more startling is the Tavianis' extravagant use of sound to intensify and comment upon the film's pivotal incidents. When, for instance, the hero first experiences sex (in the form of bestiality), the panting of a chorus of unseen copulators overwhelms the action. Later, a moment of incongruous accordion music smashes the film's pastoral hush...
