...didn't do this for the pleasure of having him crack," Lanzmann told L'Express. His mission, as he saw it, was to lead each subject "toward the moment of truth." Whatever his journalistic ethics, Lanzmann proved himself an indefatigable guide on that journey. By the end of Shoah, the viewer is grateful to have made the forced march with him, for the film's achievement is to show there are stories worth hearing, and ravaged, resilient faces that reward our scrutiny. The horror, the gallows humor, the shame and the heroism, the lessons of this holocaust--and all others...

Shultz had come to Moscow largely to probe for possible Soviet concessions, but found Gorbachev unyielding on almost every point. Human rights? That subject was "discussed rather fully," Shultz told reporters later, "but I have nothing to report as to what possible constructive outcome there may be." Regional problems? Replying to Reagan's accusations that Moscow and its allies are imposing Marxist regimes by force on such Third World countries as Afghanistan, Angola, Cambodia...
