...Ball, have commonly been called humanistic, possibly because they refuse to be comfortably confined in any other genre. Their humor is neither primarily verbal nor visual; Forman's particular skill is ingenious observation, creating comedy from character and rigorously familiar situations. But his work also contains a trace of archness, a current of condescension. In none of his films has that tendency been more evident than in his latest, Taking...
...retarding the output of industrial exports, absenteeism was a primary cause of Italy's $1.7 billion trade deficit last year. Managers trace the upsurge in absenteeism to a law, passed last June, forbidding company representatives from checking up at the home of employees who take off because of "illness." To collect his sick pay, which in the auto industry averages 50% of normal wages, a worker must now present only a doctor's certification that he has been ill. In a spot check on about 1,000 workers who had acquired certificates, the national health-insurance agency found...
Others feel that Radcliffe has never really furthered the interests of Harvard women and would definitely not be able to do so should it remain single.

But PL's Marxist orientation did not jibe well with the SDS of 1966, which was a loosely organized, free-wheeling coalition of anti-war and civil rights groups. A resolution to expel PL members from SDS was nearly...
...creation of an actual incident, recalled in a spirit of quiet fury. Working with only two professional actors, the maiden and the official. Bertucelli persuaded the inhabitants of a remote village-who had never seen a motion-picture camera-to perform their lives without a trace of self-consciousness or restraint. As a result, watching Ramparts of Clay is like looking at the sun-almost unendurable for long. The ritual slaughter of a ram, for instance, becomes a cataract of blood and pain...
