Here is the passage whose meaning you misunderstood:<BR/><BR/>Mr. Delannoy had earlier had his own complaints about the industry, partly because of censorship. “L’Éternel Retour” (“The Eternal Return”), a retelling of the Tristan and Isolde story, was condemned by the Legion of Decency in 1948. “Le Garçon Sauvage” (“The Wild Boy,” released in the United States in 1952 as “Savage Triangle”), the story of a Marseilles prostitute and her son, also ran afoul of censors.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Delannoy responded by writing an article for The New York Times. the film industry, he wrote, was “dying of infantilism.”<BR/><BR/>As you see, Delannoy was responding not to Truffaut and Godard but to the censors of the previous paragraph. So you are, once again, wrong.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866016909136563293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-81646745866092745162008-06-21T00:28:00.000-05:002008-06-21T00:28:00.000-05:00They, and other "straight," MSM web sites, have th...They, and other "straight," MSM web sites, have this dorky way of linking -- they'll put a link to their archives at something like "U.S. Senate," as if you didn't know what that was, or just felt like doing some random boning up on the subject. When I'm blockquoting them I always take that kind of link out.<BR/><BR/>The other dorky thing is that everybody now has to have a blog, including many people who don't really know what a "blog" is.ambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042450225428891273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-73759082402526957742008-06-20T20:42:00.000-05:002008-06-20T20:42:00.000-05:00There's a lot of self-loathing among liberals, so ...There's a lot of self-loathing among liberals, so I'm not at all surprised that the Times doesn't link to itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-74054442650472410832008-06-20T19:40:00.000-05:002008-06-20T19:40:00.000-05:00Blake, the Times wouldn't have to make the archive...<I>Blake, the Times wouldn't have to make the archive accessible just because it didn't have a copyright.

This one was closed, which is just as well since it's PDF and I'm biased against that format. <BR/><BR/>As to them being resolutely 20th century, money-grabbing, desperately flailing while pathetically sinking, holding on to what they got, elitist cluelessly unlinkable, you could stick with practicing your own auteurism captivating your eager audience with your own modern interpretation of the text, as you do so splendidly and entertainingly, without links to their rapidly failing selves. That's fine with me. <BR/><BR/>Maybe we could be clued when you're in not-linking-to-NYT mode by a sudden switch to those bullets, italics and bolds mentioned earlier. Those are cool.<BR/><BR/>^^^ Bank salesman. Bank services? Checking account, which might have required a bit of salesmanship in that day? The first time I saw my parents checkbook I was totally mystified. That they could just write their own money was like magic. Maybe it was like that, in France back in the day. Competitive car loans? Other banky deals like we see advertised on television today? College funds, Christmas funds, and funeral savings accounts!
