The thriving state of Communist parties in Italy, France and elsewhere is taken by Moscow as proof of capitalism's weakness-although Brezhnev is less pleased that these par ties are successfully resisting the notion that all ideological truth emanates from Moscow. Brezhnev's main failure has been in the Middle East, where two of the Kremlin's most trusted clients, the Syrians and the Palestinians, spent much of this year shooting at each other.

The universe, they believe, is the expanding remnant of a huge fireball that was created 20 billion years ago by the explosion of a giant primordial atom.

Which is exactly what many audiences did think about Paddy Chayefsky's Network as they stamped their feet, howled and hooted at the most controversial movie...
...seriously aggravated. If I were in control of a network, I think I would be satisfied with a mere million-dollar profit instead of a 150 million-dollar profit. I would supply on prime time a healthy chunk of beauty and commitment.
