...dispel that mage. In an appeal to Jewish voters in Toronto, Clark grandly promised that he would move the Canadian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem-a move that would complicate Ottawa's relations with the Arab world. Clark's handlers were so leery of verbal miscues that they limited his appearances to small groups and friendly audiences. They also shrewdly declined to put forward detailed proposals that Trudeau, an unmatched debater, could pick apart. One exception: a highly popular plan for partial tax deductions for home mortgage interest payments and local property taxes. Clark also...
...Claude Rivest. At the same time, Claude Ryan, the new leader of the provincial Liberal Party, won a 2-to-l victory in rural Argenteuil. A former editor of Montreal's influential daily Le Devoir, Ryan, 54, is not only a fresh political face but a debater whose verbal agility is a match for Levesque's.

There are no booming Faustian bargains in his work; just fast, uneasy verbal agreements between small businessmen and their omnipotent Wholesale Supplier...
These are difficult questions, and I can't pretend to have an answer to them. However, I react strangely when I hear about the high school All-American hockey player who was just accepted with a 375 verbal SAT score (you get 200 points for signing your name). I don't feel good when I read about hallowed high school athletes who quickly succumb to the pressures of life off the field at Harvard. They withdraw from Cambridge, perhaps never to be heard from again. They come here thinking that it will somehow all fall into place for them...
...that formed him. But of course it is not the familiar tale Joyce told, but the manner in which he told it, that compels one's attention and awe. And there is simply no way to construct a film that can contain more than a suggestion of the verbal richness of a novel. Interior monologues lose their power when they are transformed into voice-overs or dialogue scenes. Those long, obsessive scenes in which Stephen Dedalus flexes his revolutionary's muscles in aesthetic and theological debate with school friends become strangely wooden when, instead of reading them...
