...sequence in the concentration camp occurs on a bright, unclouded day, a detail that clashes with a common notion associating Hitler's victims with overcast skies. Fuller's vision is probably truer. He never shies away from color, and enjoys cutting from a crisp shot of blue sky and gold sand to the dull greys and greens of the infantryman's daily existence. Yet the colors never disappear; when there are no more flowers or there is no more blood, Fuller closes in on Lee Marvin's face, a rough-hewn palette of balanched hair, amber skin and watery eyes...

The students are somewhat longer of tooth and thicker of waist than the average undergraduate, and their chatter is about polymers and photoconduction, magnetic resonance and spectroscopy. They are participants in one of the Gordon Research Conferences, possibly the oldest and most eminent floating brain trust...
...York Cosmos fans love to boo Glorgio Chinaglia because he looks lazy standing alone by the adversaries' goal. But the broad-shouldered Italian forward is not lazy. He is an international star, the team's leading scorer, an artful dodger who dances through opposing defenses without soiling his crisp white Cosmos uniform with the big green "9" on the back...
