...been said that Makavejev's politics as reflected in his films are 50 per cent Groucho and 50 per cent Karl Marx. The works combine political and artistic issues and deal quite directly with them. After shooting his "W/R Mysteries of the Organism," an ode to Wilhelm Reich, he observed, "politics are for those whose orgasm is incomplete." Yet his politics have had no small effect on his life's work, he says, some of the main topics he discusses with his colleagues are "revolutionary politics and problems of power in the world."

Outside West Berlin's Zoo-Palast Cinema, near the bombed-out shell of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, as well as at scores of theaters in the rest of West Germany, long lines of Germans have been lining up to see a new hit. The central figure-his black hair combed flat across his forehead, his impassioned voice exhorting his followers to build a thousand-year Reich-is der Führer himself.

What is so absurd about this roguish fancy is that it cannot be dismissed as so absurd; scandal has long been part of the royal German tradition...
...Tsar and his family were dead. The two journalists conclude that there were not enough bullet holes or bloodstains in the murder room to accord with the gunshot deaths of seven people. In their opinion, the women were spared for a time. Alexandra was a cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm and King George V, and there is evidence that the German Emperor was bargaining with the Bolsheviks to gain her freedom. The book buttresses the theory that the "Anna Anderson" now living in Charlottesville, Va., may indeed be the Grand Duchess Anastasia, who would now be 75 years old. The authors...
