That does not, however, explain his New Hampshire showing, which was a positive tribute. Perhaps Hampshiremen recalled Lodge as the handsome young Senator who resigned his seat to enter the Army, served as a tank officer in North Africa and a liaison officer in Europe during World War II. Or it may have been the memory of his long, successful service as Ambassador to the United Nations during some of the coldest days of the cold war. Always urbane, seemingly unflappable, often cutting in his remarks, he gave the Russians much better than he got in debate...
...content, that's another story. Bergman fails because he requires his audience to analyze the welter of symbols; yet being the sum of the parts, the whole film comes close to being one big metaphor. Unfortunately, this string of symbols does not form an organic work. A tank rumbles through the empty streets at no time in particular. Does it suggest the militaristic, secular power which has supplanted the absolute comfort of religion? Or perhaps it represents the phallic preoccupation of the woman who watches. Either way, its indiscriminate placement seems to reflect the work of a Waring Blender rather...
Aided by a small grant from Japan's Fisheries Resources Conservation Society, he assembled a classroom for baby trout. In the center of a glass tank 10 in. in diameter, he hung a 3 in. ring of bare wire with six short wires dangling from it. Inside the ring swam a 21-in. "fish" cut from a tin can. The ring and fish were charged with electricity of opposite polarity, thus creating a mild electric field inside the ring...
...Their Own Good. Hatchery-innocent rainbow troutlets, less than an inch long, were plopped into the classroom. With the current turned off, they swam about at random, brushing the wires and the tin fish. But when Kanayama switched on the current, they darted all over the tank, desperate to avoid the harmless but painful shock. "I never felt guilty for doing this," says Kanayama fondly. "It was all for their own good...
...stay as far as possible from the tin fish hanging inside the ring. It took about two weeks to train a class so completely that none of them ever risked an electric shock. Then Kanayama held a graduation exercise. He put his pupils in one half of a tank divided by a wire screen through which they could swim easily. On the other side was a grown rainbow trout too big to pass through the screen's meshes. Untutored troutlets wandered guilelessly through the screen and were swallowed by the big fish, but Kanayama's conditioned babies made...
