Sabu, the Tucson zoo's young, 4,500-Ib. bull elephant, staged a prison riot last August. He charged Zoo Foreman Carl Weese, cracking cartilage, gashing him in the arm with his tusks. Weese was saved by a co-worker who rushed into Sabu's pen and began pounding the elephant on the trunk, driving him back...
...part -is here fully developed for the first time. So is Bonhoeffer's rather practical attitude toward rebellion: during a German celebration of the fall of France in 1940, Bonhoeffer gave a Nazi salute in a café and urged Bethge to his feet as well: "Raise your arm! Are you crazy? We shall have to run risks now, but not for that salute!" Bethge describes Bonhoeffer's vivid disappointment after a visit to Sweden in 1942, where he asked Anglican Bishop G.K.A.

When Sarah reminisces about sitting with her dying mother, the camera pans up the thin tube rising from her mother's arm to the vial of plasma, a sterile white building jutting vertically on the horizon seen through a window. And when Danny chops wood, the sun produces flare effects on the axe's downward lunge, a pleasant bit of work-glorifying imagery. For the great part of the film's duration...
