...only by the lifestyle or the performing, but the feeling of living in the circus and being surrounded by any variety of people. I'm not only talking about skin color or religion, but even a midget or a giant, or whatever you are. In the circus, it sounds clich? but it's true, they are equal. You take a person for who he really is inside, and not because he is 35 inches or 7 feet tall. The values are different than in normal society. There is no prejudice in the circus. You are what...

Standing with the platoon at parade rest: more hours. We stand...
...While the Sundance festival remains a crucial marketplace for smaller filmmakers to have their movies seen by distributors, the 10 days of fun, film and apr?s-ski has become something of an industry clich?. "It's brilliantly scheduled, since January is a bummer month for the business," says Schickel, who, as in past years, will remain in Los Angeles for the duration. "There's a pressure that's now placed on this event, everyone racing around trying to pick up titles for next year's release. And all that frantic buzz! The worst aspects of Hollywood are collected up there...
