...actually cut her, but was sharp enough to cut through the wax and give the illusion of slicing her flesh. Again the blood came out of the scalpel and shot into the groove being created. We cut the camera once more. I spent about 90 minutes making her head bald by spreading soap across layers of hair and drying each layer until it was slick. I then removed the top half of the mortician's wax above the cut, and built up more wax along the top of her real hairline leading into the soaped-out area. I applied pink...

...jungle, thousands of dust-covered laborers swarm over a mountain of red earth, using their pickaxes and shovels to carve its surface into a bizarre landscape. It is a scene that could belong to an outlandish biblical epic movie or a sinister labor camp. It is neither.

It is also an experiment by Brazil's debt-ridden government to harness the skills of the country's hardy garimpeiros-nomadic prospectors...
Americans might even honor the exuberant, slightly bizarre poetry of their commercial muse. Two or three generations ago, the national laureate might have been the anonymous bard who wrote the Burma Shave roadside quatrains ("In this vale/ Of toil and sin/ Your head grows bald/ But not your chin/ Burma Shave.")
