...identity." A 5-ft. by 8-ft. U.S. flag flew at the masthead, must surely have been seen by three separate Israeli planes that surveyed the ship during the morning. Her name was lettered on the stern in English, which could hardly have been confused with the Arabic script on Egyptian ships. "The court produced evidence that the Israeli armed forces had ample opportunity to identify Liberty correctly," said the summary. But it added: "The court had insufficient information before it to make a judgment on the reasons for the decision by Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats to attack...
They may not do the actual talking, but they advise and prompt and often write the script.

In subject, unfortunately, it is little more than another of Dada's precocious offspring. The leaden symbolism of the girls snipping pickles, sausages and bananas is only one example of a script that has all the consistency of an amateur happening. Director Věra Chytilová views her film as social commentary: "A necrologue about a negative way of life." The Daisies' nose-thumbing dedication-"To all those whose indignation is limited to a smashed-up salad"-suggests that...
