...people of Malle's France cannot be easily divided into two sets of people, one innocent and one guilty, in the kind of division set up by Gaullist myths and by any government trying to administer a system of justice. There is a continuum ranging from the full-time members of the Resistance, through others willing to help out when needed; through those who try to stay neutral or who try to get something for themselves by exploiting the black market or extorting money from refugees like the Horns; toward the far end of the spectrum there is Lucien...
Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. Not all things are black nor all things white. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects. The sooner we learn this concerning human sexual behavior the sooner we shall reach a sound understanding of the realities...
...years before his death in 1965, Avery made his last woodcut. In it, for the first time, he acknowledges the end as well as the continuum of life. For "Birds and the Sea" includes something none of his other landscapes have--the boundary of a horizon line. It is a simple line--ruler straight, no special tone or twist to it.

Maintaining his hold on that inconsequential little square of Harvard soil, clutching it tenaciously in the continuum of his mind as though it, too, will never die and fade into the memories of a one-time quarterback who went to training camp with the St. Louis Cardinals and was never heard from again, Crone is gone. You missed him. You'll never watch and marvel at the "Zone...
