...movies' golden age. But ours is not the golden age of anything--certainly not of romance or of high wit, surely not of that tolerant class consciousness that animated so many of those 1930s comedies. You know the old drill: rich boy meets poor girl (or vice versa), the disparities in their backgrounds--the very thing that first attracted them--sunders their romance until, defying convention, they get together at last. But in modern America, where the rich--nouveau spendthrifts aside--are careful not to act rich, and the poor think they're middle class, and therefore have no hesitation...
...Town" seemed more like a big huge roller coaster of Tomorrowland. It starts out smoothly enough, with a camera crew preparing Santa (played by Moreno) for a TV show. As the film begins to roll and Santa smiles for the camera, the theater becomes a TV screen, or vice-versa.

...became clear that the one could serve the end of the other, and vice-versa. I believe that this kind of movement between homologous modes of creation is at the basis of my pedagogical labors at Harvard. I would like to continue in the line of close and extended analysis of texts of all ages and, at the same time, of cinematic and visual forms. If there is an "eternal return" of the same, or if the spectre of the experience of one place begins to mark that of another, the "H", the axe of Harvard, is not far from...
...Starzl and his colleagues discovered that there was something different about those recipients who had lived much longer--10, 20, as many as 30 years. By testing these patients, they discovered that white blood cells from the recipient's immune system had migrated into the donated organs--and vice versa. What is more, with the encouragement of the antirejection drugs, body and organ had learned to coexist in peace. If scientists could somehow find a way to facilitate that long-term assimilation, Starzl recognized, they could establish the tolerance of transplants more readily and perhaps minimize the use of drugs...
