David Marmor, as the stellar editor of the Liberal Press, and Ishir Bahn, as his trusty sidekick, the chair of the homeowners' council, have sophisticated acting styles, but crude parts. They shout and wave their arms a lot in an effective rendition of two almost slapstick characters. Amory Downes as Mrs. Stockmann and Michelle Sullivan as her daughter perform competently...
...mistreated corpse, clothed from the waist down when discovered, was now stark naked except for remnants of a boot dangling from his right foot, and bore the marks of his crude recovery. He had also been castrated; it turned out that his penis and most of his scrotum were missing, perhaps accidentally broken off during his recovery and taken by a visitor. Flown out by helicopter and transferred to a hearse, the Iceman and his possessions were transported to Innsbruck. There, one final indignity awaited the body. It became the centerpiece of a press conference in the local morgue. While...
...unlined fur robe made of patches of deer, chamois and ibex skin. Though badly repaired at many points, the robe had been cleverly whipstitched together with threads of sinew or plant fiber, in what appears to be a mosaic-like pattern, belying the popular image of cavemen in crude skins.

As for the repairs, made with grass thread, Egg says...
...hugely successful comedian, Crystal is singularly without attitude -- not as angry as Richard Pryor, nor as frantic as Robin Williams, nor as - political as Jay Leno, not alienated or crude or macho. His humor bursts the bubble of ego without destroying anyone's dignity.

...casual visitor, the chill, choppy waters of Prince William Sound show little evidence of the disaster that struck on Good Friday 1989. Nearly 11 million gal. of crude oil poured from a gash in the grounded tanker Exxon Valdez that day, forming a slick that eventually reached into the Gulf of Alaska and nearly to the Shumagin Islands, about 965 km (600 miles) away. More than 1,930 km (1,200 miles) of coastline was fouled; commercial and subsistence fishing were halted; populations of bald eagles, seabirds, otters and other animals plummeted; and at least 35 archaeological sites were sullied...
