22. Setting the record straight
Dissidento barada nikto
Why would the scriptwriters and others interviewed deny knowing what it was about - I remember news articles in the 60s about it and it was clearly understood by my mates that the word came from Russian. However, if you read Wikipedia now, it's as if no one had ever said it.
Well, there was a very good reason - see the year of the film release, with the UnAmerican thing just starting up. Show you knew any Russian and you were on the list. You were a possible Stalinist.
So, the writer quite possibly asked his 'friend' or control what the Russian was for 'nobody' and was told 'ni kto', nominative. Writer goes away without going into the form of the pronoun. Simple matter.
As for the film - weeelll, a classic, innit, of the genre.
Guitars
Worked myself into a corner here - not enough politics to warrant two posts now and apres-film, so thought I'd do politics at 8 p.m. after the film and run the music now. As for the jazz half promised, still one song short so shall hold that over for now.
Your task below, should you choose to accept it, is to compare these four hollow or semi-hollow body guitars for tone and decide which you like best of the four. My choice becomes apparent further down.
Snow clearing
It's not just a case of avoiding as much of the hyperbole as possible [as in the word 'awesome' above] but also avoiding the noise they think of as music which distracts from and ruins the voice. Sometimes, one has a choice and so I went for the hyperbole in the title, traded off for no awful musical noise through the video.

16. Good news for a change
Fifteen state financial officers sent a letter to U.S. banks last week noting $600 billion in assets they pledge to take elsewhere if the financial institutions embrace corporate wokeism and prohibit financing to the fossil fuel industry.
Led by West Virginia Republican Treasurer Riley Moore, the group promised “collective action” in the form of an “economic boycott.”
