...statement "Without question, New York City police used extreme, sometimes brutal tactics ... at Columbia University." These "brutal tactics" you refer to caused one police sergeant to be hospitalized after students stomped on his chest. Another officer was hospitalized after a student jumped on his back-from a second-story window. This officer is now virtually paralyzed -unable to sit or stand without excruciating pain. These policemen were just doing their jobs-and without nightsticks, I might...

Along with the manifesto, the journal's editors ran a cartoon showing a gargantuan figure of Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev frantically pouring buckets of water on a tiny bungalow representing Czechoslovakia.

In North by Northwest, Thornhill's adventure with the spies almost kills him, finally leaves him a more complete man than in the beginning of the film; Jeffries in Rear Window is more mature for his journey into depravity, as is Marnie after experiencing for a second time the trauma of her youth. Truffaut is too intelligent to afford dramatic consummation only to Julie's desire for revenge, and some indirect therapy does take place in The Bride Wore Black, Truffaut suggesting that...
