Zelman knows that Gus is not going to set the world on fire with his intellect, but he feels. For this reason, he plays him with the utmost earnestness. He never lets a furrowed brow clear into enlightenment, but instead remains serious about what he is saying. This makes the humor of Pinter's words even more pointed. Zelman never gives in to the joke, but rides the satiric and ironic tone of his monologues until the horror and pain of them forces the audience to laugh. It is nice to see someone who has camped...
There are, however, no "priestesses." Benson said, "Adam, not Eve, was instructed to earn the bread by the sweat of his brow. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a mother's calling is in the home, not in the marketplace." That kind of male chauvinism has been challenged by feminists in the church.

...what was above the neck, the skull confirms earlier constructs based on fragments: A. afarensis had an apelike face with a forward-thrusting jaw and an overhanging brow. The brain was no bigger than a chimp's, but it is now clear that Lucy and her kin were hardy enough to adapt to changing environments and thus to survive for some 9,000 centuries. And unless older hominid fossils are found -- always a possibility -- they will retain their distinction as the first evolutionary step that began to distinguish humans from other animals...
