Still, the pundits seemed to agree on several criteria that may have appeared mysterious to the ordinary viewer. Hart, for example, was "expected" to win Massachusetts, according to all three networks, the implication being that his big victory therefore counted for less. Apparently he was also "expected" to win Rhode Island, a unionized and traditionally Democratic state that would seem to have been Mondale territory. Thus, to the pundits, Hart's major victory was in Florida, although his margin there was the narrowest in his three primary triumphs. In analyzing Mondale, the standards may have been a little more...
...risky for a viewer to sweep too many thematic generalizations into this dusty pile of celluloid. Indeed, a cynic would declare that the only thing this quintet has in common is Hitchcock's greed. The film maker always had an acute eye for commerce. He worked in an economically reliable genre with the industry's biggest stars. He would agree to dump a longtime collaborator like Composer Bernard Herrmann (who worked on eight Hitchcock films from 1955 to 1964) if the studio applied pressure. And when asked why he withheld these five films from theaters...

Even his brief cameo appearances (silhouetted in the neon skyline of Rope, for example) are a playful cue to the viewer to watch every frame for tricks and revelations. The qualities that made him the world's best-known moviemaker were precisely the ones that made him one of the best film artists...
...this cannot pretend to contain all the evidence; apart from a huge output of drawings and prints, Picasso made perhaps 400 paintings in the last three years of his life. And yet it draws the profile as it had not been drawn before. Not even the most hard-bitten viewer can contemplate this oeuvre without a degree of awe-a sensation not always identical with aesthetic pleasure. No doubt about it, Picasso painted many bad and some flatly absurd pictures at the end of his life. But the good ones are so good, and in such a weird way, that...
...close to news, public affairs shows or popular prime-time series. All seven had a rat-a-tat rhythm that sent out an unmistakable message: Hart is a man on the move. "The spots are real, real intense and jampacked," said Strother. "They are so rapid fire that the viewer needs a break to begin to comprehend them...
