...many cases, the unkindest cuts of movie moguls have been restored decades later by heroic film scholars. Together again for the first time: King Kong, in which the great ape engages in vigorous foreplay with Fay Wray; Welles' Macbeth and Touch of Evil; Max Ophuls' magnificent melodrama Lola Monies; and Sergio Leone's great homage to John Ford, Once Upon a Time in the West...
...Government aid to the college, since students (or parents) ultimately pay them back. As to BEOG money, while it does go to the college, Simmons ruled that the Government has no legal right to penalize individual students as "a remedy for coercing the college."

Gres (runner-up: Emanuel Ungaro), without even mentioning Saint Laurent...
Safire's unkindest cuts are saved for Henry Kissinger. He charges that Kissinger first had his own telephone bugged and afterward lied about it. Safire also flatly asserts that Kissinger deviously recorded telephone conversations with newsmen-sometimes belittling his long-suffering foreign affairs adversary, Secretary of State William Rogers-then deliberately altered the transcripts and sent them to Haldeman to portray the resulting stories as wrong...
