...major sources of Winnie's "happiness" are Willie and her "story." It is Willie who above all rescues her from the "wilderness of herself," who blows his nose, occasionally answers her questions, and finally, with a supreme effort, tries to crawl up Winnie's mound. There are long periods of time, however, when Willie does not answer, and Winnie must rely on her "story" of frightened childhood and traumatic sexual experiences, on fuzzy memories and garbled quotations to create the illusion that she is not alone...
...cave? Travel agents, that's who. What's more, they're doing something about it. This year Academy Travel Ltd. will assemble an exclusive and hardy band of spelunkers in London, collect $195 a head, and lead them off on a somewhat sunless 15-day crawl through the caves of Rumania.

Her mother Elizabeth, played by Diana Allen, is an equally fine variation on the French sex-killer archetype. Together, they crawl all over Wake like a pair of black widows. Jaimie Rosenthal, as Mme. Rene, skillfully portrays a more mellow arachnid, whose venomous charm has degenerated into mere tittering...
...these shores. It is as if we had 40 years to rebuild the entire urban U.S." Compounding the burden, he explained, is the present distressed state of U.S. cities: over 5,000,000 run-down or deteriorating homes, pockets of deCay in the heart of most cities, and suburban crawl creeping into the countryside at a rate of 1,000,000 acres a year...
