The timing of the shot is elusive enough to convince part of each audience (perhaps the part that blinked during the crucial six frames) that Mark may have pulled the trigger. Antonioni will not do all our watching for us, and the audience is not totally secure in Zabriskie Point. Remember Blow-Up where the indefinite enlargements are never entirely wrenched from the realm of dangerous illusion...

The danger of a recession, coupled with inflation, is the biggest threat of all to the G.O.P...
...This kind of man," says Little, "needs only a slight illness to trigger off a serious neurosis that often lasts for years and is very difficult to cure. The most valuable thing in life-his fitness-has been taken away, and he can't fill the gap." Most of Little's nonathletic patients could take physical illness in stride. Their neuroses had more familiar origins: problems in marriage or work...
