...Administrator William S. Gaud is understandably anxious to emphasize that foreign aid is not merely an exercise in misguided altruism. In fiscal 1968, for example, 96% of AID-appropriated funds were spent in the U.S. by recipient nations. And the agency can tick off an impressive list of U.S. industries that will suffer because of last week's House action: fertilizers will lose $125 million; fuels, $35 million; metals, $85 million; chemicals, $75 million; pulp and paper, $25 million; machinery and equipment, $150 million; vehicles and parts, $80 million; rail equipment, $20 million; rubber, $15 million; various other industries...

But the hiatus of time often catches qualities unnoticed by a tick-tock eye. A long closeup--almost a still--of Samantha's fragile face penetrates to the madonna calm and compassion she possesses. The epiphany is not just the result of Maeve Kinkead's fine acting. Hunter takes the time to look, really look--and we see. When Anastasia washes body paint off her legs...
