...until her role in the play was a music-hall comedienne. She enjoys her lines, as when she tells Mercy Croft, who has been praising Sister George's "air of happiness" as she rides through Applehurst on her motorcycle singing hymns, "Wouldn't you be happy with 50 cc throbbing away between your legs...
Hannes Graff and Siegfried Javotnik are Austrian students. They could just as well be undergraduates at Columbia, bent on bringing off a zoo bust for the seals in Central Park. At first they throb and chortle through the spring countryside on a huge 700-cc. Royal Enfield motorcycle. But even there they come face to face with cruelty and the law. Siggy, the idealist of the pair, fights with a milkman who is mistreating a horse. Trying to escape the police, he is killed crashing into a wagonload of honey-filled beehives...

Writers as disparate as Irving Crump (Og) and William Golding (The Inheritors) patronized him as a subhuman slob. Yet Homo Neanderthalensis, so named for the Central European valley in which his bones were discovered, survived for 2,000 generations and seems to have had the same sensitivities as his descendants. Writing in the monthly report of the French Prehistoric Society, Archaeologist Arlette Leroi-Gourhan described...
