...Truth Squad. While Bernadette was making the heady round of U.S. cities, a sullen quiet prevailed back home. British Tommies still served as an efficient barrier between the Protestant and Catholic neighborhoods of Belfast and Londonderry. Home Secretary James Callaghan flew over from London. On his arrival, he said: "I'm not here to dictate to the Northern Ireland government. I've come here to help." To a crowd in Catholic Bogside, however, Callaghan said: "I am not neutral. I am on the side of all those who are deprived of justice and freedom. I will apply myself...
Scoffing at the recent defection of Novelist Anatoly Kuznetsov, the Soviet government pointed to Vladimir Ashkenazy, 32, one of the world's great pianists, as an example of a Soviet artist who travels happily in and out of his homeland. "A travesty of truth," replied Ashkenazy from Greece, where he was vacationing. Indeed, the pianist has not set foot on Russian soil since 1963, when he fled Moscow in fear and disgust. Ashkenazy explained that he had been forbidden to travel for three years after his U.S. tour in 1958, and was later granted an exit visa only...

As a result of their report, he ordered the district boundaries redrawn by November...

Innocent as Ted Kennedy might be in that respect, he can be faulted for not following Grover Cleveland's example: tell the whole truth. His carefully prepared and yet unsatisfying explanation leaves room for the suspicion that he was somehow trying to escape blame for his actions. When a woman threatened to write about her liaison with the Duke of Wellington, he retorted: "Publish and be damned." She did, and who remembers...
...cinema, truth depends on juxtaposition. A single moment is true or false, strong or weak, according to what has preceded it and what is to follow. Medium Cool proves the point. It places a fictional plot within an authentic framework by focusing on the moral agonies of a television cameraman during last summer's Chicago Convention. So strongly does it challenge the usual commercial film techniques and themes that Hollywood, ever wary both of stylistic innovation and contemporary politics, may never recover. Socially and cinematically, Medium Cool is dynamite...
