Along with these vital virtues come pernicious defects. Bergman's work is often pretentious, obscure, and riddled with private references. He has the courage to use clichés, and often they work beautifully-witness the white-faced, black-cloaked figure of Death in The Seventh Seal.

Automen traditionally make a brave try at guessing the answer on the basis of the latest sales, which rose 10.7% in January over last year. But this year the significance of the figures has been clouded by the carryover effects of the steel strike and the first full model year for the compacts. Last week Detroit cut back auto production, but that only thickened the clouds; automen blamed much...
