Brown, Cornell, Columbia, and Yale have a requirement nearly double that of Harvard. In effect, a good student at one of these colleges must study a language for two years before receiving the needed credits; at Harvard, an apt student can satisfy the requirement after a single year...

In normal times the incident would be covered by an embarrassed apology; in the anti-U.S. atmosphere of Cuba the effect was hopelessly inflammatory.

The theme is never handled in a way that suggests Bergman really knows what he thinks about the "real" and the "unreal...
