...article written for Foreign Affairs in 1967, Richard Nixon emphasized that U.S. policy must be "exercised with restraint, with respect for our partners and with a sophisticated discretion that ensures a genuinely Asian idiom and Asian origin for whatever new Asian institutions are developed. In a design for Asia's future, there is no room for heavy-handed American pressures; there is need for subtle encouragement of the kind of Asian initiatives that help bring the design to reality. The West has offered both idealism and example, but the idealism has often been unconvincing and the example non-idiomatic. However...
...sense, the same criticism can be made of the lyrics. All of the cuts were written by Jaime Robertson, who was helped on a few songs by other members of the band. The country orientation of the Band's music becomes more explicit in their Lyrics, which have a Southern, agrarian tone.

The weak script is almost used as an excuse for using the camera...

The advent of these themes in Hollywood during the late forties and fifties led to masterpieces from most of America's greatest directors: Hawks's Red River. Sirk's Written on the Wind. Ford's The Searchers, most of Ray. Frank Borzage is especially illuminating. His extremely strong, even deterministic way of shooting people's actions had always outweighed the romantic and sentimental conception of personality beneath his plots. The addition of an obsession with murder to a desperate love in Moonrise...
