...King, Lady Macbeth must pry his clenched fingers off the bloody spear--and it is with such moments that Kurosawa shows the eloquence of simple action. The classic scenes and images neither fall flat nor stick out as irrelevant set-pieces. The haggish forest spirit who replaces the Weird Sisters is as eery as they, with her boomy, slowed-down voice. Macduff's advancing army, seen through Fuji's mists, really does seem like a forest on the march...
Where does the U.S. stand today? Says a State Department official: "The U.S. has tried everything, and now we're trying nothing." The pillars of Cuban Communism appear firmly in place, decaying but hardening into some weird sort of petrified forest. The regime might even survive Castro's death. Yet for the moment at least, .Cuban Communism and subversion seem more or less neutralized. The guerrilla situation in the Hemisphere is troublesome but hardly desperate. Politically, Castro and Cuba have been discredited, both by what they have become and by the force of stronger ideas. The Alliance...
...suffered frequent headaches, occasional absentmindedness, and the strange experience of waking at night perspiring even while feeling bone-chilling cold. Often they noticed a cloudy inability to reason quickly that became known as "the Sealab effect." In the helium-filled atmosphere of the capsule, sounds took some weird twists, and it was often hard to tell which direction a voice was coming from. Consonants got lost in the thin air.

But now she has qualified for her own license to kill in a wacky movie called The Tenth Victim. It opens in a weird, cubistic New York nightclub, where Ursula is bumping, grinding and stripping down to her glittering silver and green bikini. A Chinese brandishing a .45 automatic rushes at her, but Ursula is the fastest bra in town. Bang-bang, she has fired her twin pistols, whose small round muzzles protrude from her brassiere like iron...
Through the 90-mile-wide Straits of Florida separating the U.S. from Cuba runs some of the most bizarre traffic ever seen on any body of water in the world. Desperate Cubans flee north in sailboats, rafts-even inner tubes. At night, weird vessels churn among the mangrove and coral cays on secret missions for no one is quite sure whom. One morning last week, a U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat 65 miles off Cuba drew alongside one of the strangest yet: an aged, 165-ft., grey-hulled converted yacht named the Seven Seas, adrift and seemingly unmanned-until...
