...another country, responsible to a different constituency, Martin King perhaps would have been less vulnerable to Hoover's ploy, but he was in puritan America, and was responsible to the puritans-at first, the black, but now, the white. Their press had made him. Their financial support had underwritten his activities. Their power protected him from acts of Gothic violence like those that had cancelled the lives of Emmet Till, Chaney, Goodman, Schwerner, and the four girls in the bombed church at Birmingham. Made myopic by his ego and his mendacious assumptions about the nature of America, King...
...Neill), a war bride living in a lonely cottage on a promontory where sea, earth and air come together, who becomes the focus of Hermic's discoveries, is presented with the necessary elusiveness of a dream (partly as a result of Mulligan's treatment of Herman Raucher's often underwritten and coy screenplay). But, because of the realistic, often comic development of the rest of the film, her character calls forth audience frustration rather than the desired sense of intrigue. Introduced in two slow motion sequences, she is surrounded by a lyricism that is forced and contrived. Throughout the middle...
...LYRICS AND POETRY. Poetry exists in its conciseness, how much is packed into it; it's important to be able to read and reread it at your own speed.

The Far Side of Paradise ; then take a look at the underwritten but magnificently researched Zelda . Better yet, take advantage of the Fitzgerald revival by getting copies of his works themselves, large stacks of which can now be found in every bookstore. In the past year, Fitzgerald's Hollywood works, Tycoon and The Pat Hobby Stories, have been published in paperback...
Under Section 235, which mainly benefits families earning between $5,000 and $10,000 a year, the Government can pay all but 1 % of the interest on 30-year mortgage loans up to $24,000. Down payments by purchasers run as low as $200. So far, FHA has underwritten Section 235 loans on some 119,000 houses, and the agency expects that the nation's taxpayers will have to put up $800 million for subsidies before the loans are repaid...
