...social science research which the Defense Department has funded this decade has not been uniquely related to its own needs. The Defense Department is concerned with such matters as training, assignment, organization, assessment of personnel, incentives, and skill development- just like any large organization. We're living in a rather closely interrelated world with the Defense Department, and what we know of their plans lies almost entirely in these areas...

...traditionalist historians, there is no history, only biography. Z reverses the proposition; there are only forces, not men. Accordingly, the leading roles are the sort one would find on a chessboard. In an essentially small part, Montand is again Camus-like, at once involved and lofty. Trintignant, more through skill than script, turns the abstract notion of justice into a driven man who would shatter his career rather than bend the truth...
