...fierce an old-style Japanese husband as can be imagined-a rake, a wife-beater and a man so taciturn that he never consulted his wife on anything. It was not only an uncommonly candid flashback of the Satos' early wedded life but a commentary on the old code and how it has been broken. And the source was the woman whose husband heads one of the most industrialized and progressive nations in the world...
...reason, says Goffman, is that he offends the hidden code of behavior to which all "normal" people subscribe. The man oblivious to the rain is guilty not just of a trivial impropriety, but of the greater sin of social unpredictability. No one can guess with any assurance what ceremony he will next profane. No one can be sure of his respect of public order, without which society would regress to the jungle. Goffman is still exploring the patterns of behavior at social gatherings, which he believes have all the systematic qualities of a language. He is also at work...
...bent normally associated with Mizoguchi or Rossellini. It is hard to determine what director has influenced Bogdanovich, but the outcome exists largely in terms of meaningless tracking shots which bear down on their subjects. In any case, Targets owes nothing to Hawks, despite a televised quotation from The Criminal Code, followed by Bogdanovich's line, "That man sure knows how to tell a story." Hawks never pulled away from action in his life. Targets relies instead on some elementary Hitchcock principles involving point-of-view shots...
Since the code was adopted, it has not been applied in a single case. It was not used, for example, against two captured soldiers who were cleared of charges that they made anti-U.S. statements before they were freed by the Viet Cong in 1965. The Navy's dilemma over the Pueblo incident sharply underlines the code's shortcomings. The code cannot be enforced, since it carries no penalties; such offenses as informing and revealing classified information to the enemy are indeed punishable, but under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, not under the Code of Conduct...
...Defense Department insists that the Code of Conduct is "militarily binding." Most authorities, however, agree with a naval judge advocate, Captain Gale Krouse, who argued otherwise last week in San Diego. Pointing out that the Code of Conduct is not part of the U.C.M.J., Krouse said: "Failure to observe the guidelines of this executive order is not in my mind a criminal offense." In any event, finding a middle course between the needs of military discipline and compassion for the plight of prisoners of war will be a difficult job of legal navigation...
