...sell out democratic principles over something as tawdry as a flashy T.V. drama. According to early reports, Amerika concerns itself with the sexual misadventures of its the wife of its handsome hero as much as with geopolitical commentary. And the wrong the U.N. will be made to suffer? The tasteless appropriation of its logo. How did things ever get this...
Kohl nonetheless remains prone to the damaging gaffe. Party strategists winced two weeks ago, when he accused East Germany of holding 2,000 political prisoners in jails and "concentration camps." That allusion to the Nazi era, combined with some tasteless patriotic rhetoric, made some Kohl supporters nervous.

And a subplot that involves them in an endlessly unfunny attempt to soothe the troubled spirit of Burgess's mad old mom is irrelevant and near to tasteless. She is played by Lillian Gish, and the movies' oldest pro clearly understands that she is trapped in Sweet Liberty's dreariest neighborhood. She does her brash best to break loose, but her efforts are more brave than successful. Doubtless her first auteur, D.W. Griffith, warned her there would be roles...
