ABOUT ten minutes into Cutter's Way, something strange happens. What's gone before has been strictly cinematic--scenes that have become familiar on the screen as part of movie life. Richard Bone trades a few remarks with an older woman he has half-heartedly laid, and then he's down in the hotel lobby, lighting the obligatory cigarette, striding cockily out the door, refusing to pay the valet who wheels him up his old Healy. We've seen all this before, and it has become so familiar we don't even give it a second thought. They used...
...Richard Bone (Jeff Bridges) walks into what we take for his house late in the night and finds himself enmeshed in one of those late night drunken conversations with the woman there, who, though it's not important, we're led to believe is his wife or lover. What matters is the uneasy alliance. The conversation is half bullshit and half frustration. Maybe it's a breakthrough and maybe it's the Beam.

...Vietnam, a man who's tongue is too quick--sometimes it's hilarious and sometimes he should just shut up. He has no social graces, but his venom is directed out there somewhere--a romantic who has retreased to snideness since romance died. Richard Bone is a lazy Ivy League, ostensibly working around a marina selling boats, but more often than not hopping from one matron's bed to another, a bored and listless stud. What little structure there is in their lives is provided at Cutter's house--a cramped, cozy bungalow on a suburban street in Santa Barbara...
Throdal says it is still too early to tell what products or services, to which the company holds exclusive rights, if any, may result from the Harvard research, but Science magazine reported last May that the Collagen company, of which Monsanto owns 30 per cent, will manufacture bone powder to be used in a study by Julianne Glowacki, associate in surgery at the Medical School and a researcher in Folkman's lab, to study techniques in developing artificial bones...
