JANNINGS'S reduction to poverty and dependence on. Dietrich increases--but the settings do not begin to imprison him. They remain as deep and spacious as ever. Rather, his consciousness of their distance and illusory nature grows. On their very wedding night Dietrich separates herself from Jannings with a veil. His relation to her becomes more purely visual as he goes through hell; the scope of his experience grows and grows, his vision becomes stronger and clearer as his life changes. Finally he is forced to play a clown in his home town while Dietrich backstage messes with a young...
...harmony and domestic tranquillity prior to his imprisonment. The rest of the film is quite different, including also a stylistic foreshadowing of detached neo-realism (the collapse of the first doctor), also of modern optical effects (the focus-pulling from dead Lincoln's face to the texture of the veil placed over it). Ford's stylistic vocabulary is limitless, his films beyond categorization...
...statement would have raised the larger issue of whether social science can coexist with social change. This problem will cause much reflection about the aims and methods of social science, and discussion of it in no way challenges academic freedom.

Academic freedom suffers because researchers are threatened with or subjected to personal attack for doing studies which are perceived as inimical to someone's or some group's interest...

Its poverty-encrusted homes are forever damp, and a veil of smog coats the area. It is a place where the city's mostly Protestant police "do what they like," say sullen residents. This night they did, using batons and water cannons furiously in the narrow streets, as the Bogsiders fought back ferociously. Bricks ricocheted off buildings or disintegrated shop windows. Petrol bombs bounced and flared in the glass-shard-littered streets. One crowd...
Debussy's music provides an iridescent veil which sensitizes each syllable and gesture of the poem. His music illuminates the music from behind. The recitative vocal line partakes of the elastic undulations of the French language in an effort to more naturalistically express character. As he writes, "The feelings of a character cannot be continually expressed in melody. Also, dramatic melody should be totally different from melody in general." Only in a few places, such as Melisande's song at the beginning of Act III and the love duet in Act IV, scene iv, does the melody become genuinely lyrical...
