...million annual export of snakeskins. That seemingly modest action was, in fact, a firm declaration of war against the nation's estimated 4.8 billion rat population, which outnumbers humans by a ratio of 8 to 1. Those are unfair odds. India's rats are believed to eat or destroy almost half the grain consumed in India-100 million tons; moreover, the rats are disease carriers, profligate breeders and just plain pests...
...even worse. When we are shown aunt-nephew incest side by side with sadomasochistic monks and nuns in a French country inn, or when we see an elaborate fantasy in which people at a formal dinner sit about publicly on toilets and retire to a dark stall to eat, these are simply contextless bits whose crudity is a far cry from, say, Bunuel's brilliant portrait of the country landlord who forced Jeanne Moreau to parade about in his dead wife's shoes while reading to him from Huysman's decadent novel Against Nature in Diary of a Chambermaid...

The word is that Sprouse got Hutchinson to run because Hutchinson will eat into Rockefeller's Kanawha County power base.

In the event of his death or resignation, if Rockefeller was governor, Rockefeller...
