...Bird more than once? Sometimes the appeal is more than mere novelty: a discarded thought can be more revealing, more intimate than a finished work; it's like catching an old friend off guard. A yen for uncooked art, for malleable art, is also more in keeping with our crude, relativistic times...
...deep power that both Clinton and Gantry have over people comes not from intelligence or a fancy education, but from love laced with vulgarity. Accused of being crude by Falconer's business manager, Gantry responds: "You're too good for the people. I am the people." Fade out to what every honest person has been thinking these past seven months, about not reaching for the first stone. The point that Lewis made with Gantry was that the preacher was also a man.

However, when Ted Stromman (Ben Stiller) wants to track her down 13 years after their dismal senior prom date, he is doing...
...unburied dead. Bodies swiftly rotted by the tropical heat come apart in emergency workers' hands. And to the surviving villagers, many of them amputees after gangrene invaded their wounds, it is a place to be ever forsaken, a steaming graveyard carved out by elemental demons. New villages, crude and unnamed, are springing up on a hill far from the betraying water. "The people will go back, but to a better place," said Fabian Tombre, whose village, Arop, is no more. "We will build new homes away from the sea. We will live up in the bush for 20 years...
