...barricades against Ronald Reagan's budget cuts. From church basements and corporate boardrooms, tens of thousands of special pleaders, lobbyists and their experts have marshaled to do battle for their special causes.

The latter used the effect most spectacularly, with ten camera angles, when John Cassavettes turned to ripe tomatoes all over the dining room walls.
