...forfeit of all the film techniques. The Loeb Persona doesn't try to make up for these lost ingredients, and is content to deal only with those bare bones of Bergman's film which did not depend on his camera. The hallmarks of the original Persona are gone without trace--Bergman's loving concentration on the faces of the two woman, his split-screen sequences, his reminders that Persona is a film and not reality, conveyed by shots which include his cameras, himself, and random footage from his earlier movies.

In his memorable opening show of the season, "An Essay on Watergate," he recalled a high school teach er telling him, "There is no sight more beautiful in the world than a people governing." Moyers went on to trace his growing realization, gained during his Washington years, that in politics "high ideals compete ... all the time with the grubby demons of human nature, usually in the same personality." He concluded, proudly, that though it was a near thing, American ideals and institutions had held against the assaults of the Nixon...
