...best critical judgments. In 1956, the film made Bergman intellectual chic. In later years, its fame, coupled with its lack of substance, led many to a premature disenchantment not only with Bergman but with foreign films as a group. The labored allegory's saintly sheen cannot disguise its sanctimony; stark and serious do not by themselves make profound...
...Crimson has ardently supported. Although Kennedy's connection with the paper had been tenuous, at best--he never made much of his membership on the Business Board--Crimson editors felt a sentimental attachment to him. In comparison with the other candidates before the Convention in Los Angeles, and in stark contrast to the Republican standard bearer, the young Massachusetts Senator and Overseer seemed the only logical choice.

Virginia's mental health in the wake of all three deaths was dangerously unstable; in 1895 she went stark mad, heard voices, grew depressed, and refused to eat. In 1904, thinking she heard birds singing in Greek and Edward rustling in the azalea hedge, she threw herself from a window...
