THERE'S A fleeing-frontrunner motif to the Big Race so far, and bruited in the pages of the liberal press are some distinct flight images: Ronald Reagan running hither and yon to regain $90 billion worth of lost ground; Gerald Ford running for daylight, daylight which for him must come in regular bursts on the first Friday and the 20th of each month with the proclamation of jobless and price index figures; and, most recently, Jimmy Carter running for cover from forays into his past...

Kubrick's sets are at first startling--the lush green beauty of Irish hills...
...Orbit. The real danger to Yugoslavia's future sovereignty, in Tito's view, looms not from within but from without. Belgrade shares with Washing ton and other Western governments a fear that the Kremlin will move to regain influence over Yugoslavia, which spun dramatically out of the Soviet or bit in 1948 when Tito rebelled against Stalin's dictates. This might well involve subversion of the post-Tito government by Russia's agents and even a Soviet army invasion of Yugoslavia...
