...propriety, temperance, and privacy are transcended in a communal frenzy, where people aren't afraid to let their pants down. So, a few summers back, finding myself in Spain in July, I headed for Pamplona to pay my respects to San Fermin and his Dionysian worshippers. After a sleepless all-night train ride, crushed into a stuffy corridor crammed with Spaniards on their way to Pamplona, I arrived on the first day of the fiesta. The city was jammed and the wine had already begun to flow in the streets. I promptly bought myself a wineskin and some dirt-cheap...
...result was a wordy and unpolished main brief, written primarily by junior staff lawyers who worked through two all-night sessions to meet the deadline. Too late for normal printing, it was photocopied-and initially rejected by the court because the type was too small...
...Boston Common to support the marchers, the first of many monster rallies there. It saw 500 students, undeterred by a Lampoon counter-demonstration, ride SDS's buses to the first of many marches on Washington. It saw the first of many Harvard teach-ins on Vietnam, an all-night marathon that had to be moved to Sanders Theater and overflowed anyway.

One non-Aspri was General Sutomo Yuwono, head of the internal intelligence agency. The other was General Sumitro, boss of the security force Kopkamtib. Suharto stripped him of the Kopkamtib command and took personal charge of the secret...
...half-knight and half-clown, struggling against a city's corrupting power. He constantly mumbles to himself to convince himself that he's really a private eye, like someone else would pinch himself to make sure he's not dreaming. Marlowe's Los Angeles is constantly alight with all-night supermarkets, all-night traffic, all-night venality. He is awake to the phonies and moral bankrupts around him, and the audience sees L.A. as he sees it. The restless, light-drenched photography (by Altman veteran Vilmos Zsigmond), and nervy editing and soundtrack express the visual and aural equivalents of Marlowe...
