...drugs that prolong these kids' lives are the outward sign of their invisible illness. The Spartan infirmary in the main cabin is known as Club Meds. Each day as the 80 campers fish, play basketball, paint or make lanyards, a team of volunteer nurses sit around a table on which hundreds of pills are lined up like jelly beans. If only they were. In a harsh reminder of just how different this camp is, the nurses carry those pills to the camp's 10 cabins two to three times a day. Some kids must pop as many as 30, which...
...accounts, the feasts that Wayne Waterhouse threw at his cabin overlooking Wisconsin's Brule River were fabulous. Every fall, Waterhouse would serve the bounty of his most recent hunting trips--heaping dishes of moose, elk and deer. But in 1993 Waterhouse died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a brain disorder that can be triggered by mad-cow disease, and within six years, two of his fellow feastgoers had also died of rare brain disorders. Was the game they ate to blame? That's what Wisconsin health authorities--and now the Centers for Disease Control--want to know...
...Meyer, Phase Three: "Vixen" and his other color comedies "Good Morning...and Goodbye," "Common Law Cabin," "Finder Keepers, Lovers Weepers," "Cherry, Harry & Raquel!" These films took the narrative excess and exuberance of the "Lorna"-period movies and lead-footedly revved up the pace, until they were little frenzies of lust and frustration. The playing of the actresses was even more aggressive, of the actors even more perplexed. The humor was foregrounded; now the world could say, for sure, "Oh - he's kidding," allowing uncomplicated enjoyment of the bustling and the busts. "Vixen," the snazziest of this crowd, was Meyer...
...Russ was also getting some serious critical attention. Yale University hosted a retrospective of his films. Richard Schickel attended the event and wrote a long Meyer appreciation for Life, then a weekly picture magazine. In France, critic Jean-Pierre Jackson reviewed "Common Law Cabin" and reverently called it "the most implausible film ever made." The Village Voice put its sassiest junior movie critic (me) on the Meyer beat, opening the sluice gate to torrents of mannered enthusiasm. I'd followed Meyer since around 1960, when I saw "Teas" at an "art" theater in Philadelphia, but I didn't strap...
...Russ roams into antiquity for some of his metaphors, characterizing Babette Bardot (featured player in Meyer's "Mondo Topless" and "Common Law Cabin") as "a blonde-tressed voluptua with dimensions not unlike Etruscan sculpture." And then, still not flagging 1163 pages into the opus, he unfurls this description of cheesecake model Letha Weapons and her 36H bra: "Big boobs bolstered by a breast hammock based on the principle that made the Sydney Opera House feasible...
