...have always said we are ready for a dialogue and we have indicated that we are willing to discuss any topic-with the exclusion of anything that might remotely suggest that we intend to tolerate or accept the conditions that contributed to the 1970 disaster here in Jordan. What happened between 1967 and 1970 is something no one here can tolerate in any form or permit to come back. It is not a question of Jordanians v. Palestinians, but a question of chaos and anarchy against law-and-order. We are not prepared to go through that experience again...

The polite but clearly unexcited behavior of Gandhi's crowd prompted some observers to suggest that the rally participants had been largely recruited from government agencies and surrounding business establishments...

Thus the final turn toward mysticism suggest a spiritual reconciliation with this challenging awareness of limits...
...slow, believable way she al lows Carney's realism, his low-keyed contempt for such nonsense, to win her over. It may be a trifle too much for the film to suggest at the end the blooming of, as we now say, "a relationship" be tween them. Spade or Marlowe would have let her go. It may be that Benton is occasionally a trifle too aware of his own cleverness. On the other hand, he has made a first-class entertainment out of material that has defied other modernizers...
