...both rival groups who try to kill him and only through the aid of the coffinmaker is our hero rescued. Several days later he has recuperated enough to confront the survivors of the war. With the watchtower in the background, the shot shows the warrior gazing down a dust-blown street at his opponents. They are ten strong: he is one man. Then, as the dust swirls around the samurai's head, he smiles. He has accepted his mere humaness and he will triumph...

Ironically, even the federal program to curb water pollution is stalled because of the paper work required by NEPA (some 20,000 separate permits might be required...
...Dali is undoubtedly the last of the great dandies, but nobody accepts his own belief that he is the last of the great artists, heir to Vermeer and Velásquez. The baroque costume jewelry, the monarchist-Catholic oratory, the worn stock of crutches and soft watches-all have dust on them. Even the trembling antennas of that fabled mustache have apparently ceased to receive or transmit anything...
