The Dream And The Film Are The

It Is To A Dramatist, Which Is To Say, To An Unfrocked Psychoanalyst, Stunning That That Which Has Sustained The Left In My Generation, Its Avatar, Its Prime Issue, Has Been Abortion. For, Whether Or Not It Is Regarded As A Woman's Right, An Unfortunate Necessity, Or Murder, Which Is To Say, Irrespective Of Differing And Legitimate Political Views, To Enshrine It As The Most Important Test Of The Liberal, Is, Mythologically, An Assertion To The Ultimate Right Of A Postreligious Paganism.

The Honest Man Might Observe... That No One Gets Something For Nothing; That Politicians Go In Poor And Go Out Rich; That The Government Screws Up Everything It Touches; And That The Will To Believe Is Best Confined To The Religious Venue, As To Practice It Elsewhere Is Just Too Damned Expensive.

The Oscars Demonstrate The Will Of The People To Control And Judge Those They Have Elected To Stand Above Them (much, Perhaps, As In Bygone Days, An Election Celebrated The Same).

Luck, If There Is Such A Thing, Is Either Going To Favor Everyone Equally Or Going To Exhibit A Preference For The Prepared.

My Idea Of Perfect Happiness Is A Healthy Family, Peace Between Nations, And All The Critics Die.
