EGERMAN'S COMPANION in marital misfortune is no better. Peter, like Knickerbocker, has too small a voice for her part, as well as considerable trouble reaching those elusive high notes. The proper balance of teasing innocence and charm which is Anne's trademark proves equally elusive for Peter. Her attempts at coyness and sorrow alike end up forced and grating...
Some cineastes have problems dealing with Altman's distinctive technique of mixing several reels of simultaneously spoken dialogue together, a trademark that captures the actual quality of everyday conversation far better than any previous method used. The dialogue often sounds garbled however, a built-in hazard that has dismayed actors as well as viewers (e.g. Warren Beatty's post-production grumblings about the sound in McCabe & Mrs. Miller). When I first screened Welcome, I listened closely for this technique and failed to notice it. Rudolph subsequently told me that the method in fact was used; if true, then...
Hayakawa, a teacher and a writer on semantics, had been best known for his trademark tam-o'-shanter and his boldness in quelling dissident student demonstrators during the turbulent late '60s when he was president of San Francisco State College.

He expressed open disdain for homosexuals and expressed misgivings about a California law prohibiting business collusion with the Arab boycott...
...Senate contest between Democratic Senator John F. Tunney and Republican S.I. Hayakawa is certainly not an anomaly. Hayakawa, a conservative folk-hero from the days of campus unrest, has launched his political casreer at the ripe age of 70. With a tam-o-shanter upon his head as a trademark, the college president travels the state with a bizarre campaign style that features frequent expressions of disinterest about a wide variety of issues. Tunney's bland, Eastern style--including a Kennedyesque accent--palls in comparison with his opponent's. Hayakawa has captured the electorate's imagination, but it is highly...
...continuing crackdown on the leftists suggested that Hua Kuo-feng, assisted by moderates and army commanders, was moving rapidly to consolidate his grip on China's tentacles of power. The new party Chairman's next task will probably be to establish his own trademark, creating a distinctive and inspiring style of rule. That may turn out to be difficult for a man who has proved himself so far to be a competent administrator but hardly a charismatic leader in the mold of Mao. Nonetheless for the moment at least, Hua seems to be the triumphant beneficiary...
