Still, the colonel concedes that "perhaps the policy wasn't strong enough." Therein lies the problem: in Viet Nam, a man of "ordinary sense" may often be unclear whether his orders are legal or illegal.

At the time of My Lai, those orders insisted: "All persons in your hands, whether suspects, civilians or combat captives, must be protected against violence, insults, curiosity and reprisals of any kind...
...been one of his major reasons for accepting this post. "I'm not sure I'm really trusted," he sighs, and claims that he often finds himself mentioning his M.A. from Indiana "rather inverse snobbishly."

A New Leaf may be the first film in which Matthau is miscast. He retains his unique webfooted shuffle, and still sends home his jokes special delivery. But his astringent lines ("That woman is not primitive, she is feral") belong on the palate of a George Sanders...
...doctor in The Grand Hotel whose face seemed split down the middle-dark on one side, fair on the other-by just such a discoloration. In the movie, the doctor is present full face to the camera when the hotel thief is deciding whether or not to steal the wallet of the accountant, and at the close of the movie as well, when he pronounces with heavy irony (with the dark side of his face turned completely away from the camera so that the audience only sees his clear side in profile) that "People come and people go, but nothing...
