...final scene, the gang is at the beach. The police are coming, and everyone runs. Everyone but Madjid who sits, depressed, thinking of the helplessness he sees surrounding him. Pat looks at him, screams his name, but then frightened, he runs off with the rest. The police pick up Madjid and he stares out the window, listlessly. Adopting Madjid's point of view, the camera travels down the road. Ahead, it spots Pat. Freeze-frame. The final photograph of this film--Pat leaning back and waving, his hair blown back by the salt breeze--is worth sitting through two hours...
...fact that a large percentage of them own or rent houses on Martha's Vineyard for the summer. The Island is a great place to get sick, as well as one in which to search out a potential thesis advisor.

This phenomenon is best described as power-beaching. To make the correct impression at a well-populated Vineyard beach, you must bring...
...bathing suit is only the beginning. If it's Sunday, reading material is key. If you've managed to lug the entire Sunday Times, Globe, Washington Post (which you've had to special order) all the way from the foreign automobile/Jeep to the beach, you've done alright. Extra points go to anyone who can bring all of these plus the lastest Frederick Forsythe novel, anything by Art Buchwald or Andy Rooney or Agatha Christie, plus The New York Review of Books. Do not bring suntan lotion (you're here for two months, so you'll get sun eventually), anything...
