...Godard needs so he can reach sure knowledge of the real. His desperation for experiences of the real will not let him accept delays; but on the other hand his rationalism will not let him follow a shoddy line of analysis.

"You see?" Che would say of Fyodorov's ideas. "It's all come true...
Arab rhetoric is acknowledged to be overblown, but Syria's is sometimes in a class by itself. In their campaign of frenzied anti-Western propaganda, the Baathists once actually issued an official warning to the populace to beware of CIA "vampires," who were plotting to collect Syrian blood for wounded American G.I.s in Viet...
