Memories of Zapruder. By definition Z is a polemic. The film plainly exaggerates the horrors of the present Greek scene. But it is a po'emic that was created, not just felt, partly by using dialogue that is more like lyrics than speech. According to traditionalist historians, there is no history, only biography. Z reverses the proposition; there are only forces, not men. Accordingly, the leading roles are the sort one would find on a chessboard.

Cultural Historian Barzun is a traditionalist who feels that "the university is an institution transcending time and geography."
