Last week the "Jafsie" notes ceased, with a repetition of: What is wrong? Have you crossed me? Please, better directions. Through the newsreel Mr. Condon, a small man with a grey mustache and bowler hat, reiterated that he had not given up hope of renewing his dealings with those who duped him. But his inexplicable movements, so perplexing to newshawks who watched his little frame house night & day after the ransom was paid, diminished. On one occasion he had seized a small U. S. flag, waving it frantically over his head as he ordered reporters off his premises. Another time...
...spent plenty of time preparing to play Hughes. "I don't know what he's talking about with this 10 seconds of focus stuff," says Scorsese, and laughs. "Don't let him kid you--he's incredibly thorough."

Most people would not guess that Palestine had even one filmmaker; if you asked them to define "Palestinian film," they'd say it was newsreel footage of a suicide bomber. And don't even ask about a Palestinian sense of humor. Yet Suleiman's Divine Intervention, which won a jury prize, was one of the most sophisticated and, in its dark way, funniest films at Cannes...
...memory of the destruction we witnessed Tuesday will consist, in part, of the astonishing newsreel that captured the collision with the southern tower. The millions of Americans who watched those few seconds of videotape played over and over again, in slow motion, will long remember the sight of that dark shadow speeding toward the tower, disappearing as it collided, then emerging as a giant fireball from the opposite side. We will long remember watching the collapse of the World Trade Center and the sight of the giant dust cloud that arose above lower Manhattan—towering buildings reduced...
