But even in Paris, when she lives with a Frenchman, Henri, and his two friends, Sarah is reminded of her roots in an ugly scene. Henri calls her "notre Negresse pasteurisee" and describes her background as a symbolic rape of an Irishwoman by a big, Black buck.

Even in space, particle beams that carried an electrical charge would be bent off course by the earth's magnetic field.
