...have been stoned. One executive's Cadillac was burned, while an Exxon employee narrowly escaped injury in southerly Ahwaz when a Molotov cocktail was hurled at his car. The entire U.S. community was thrown into its deepest shock two weeks ago by the assassination of Oil Executive Paul Grimm in Ahwaz...
Look again. The 13½-in. by 16½-in. size is justified: De Rico's monumental landscapes suggest Leonardo, and his tale is reminiscent of the Grimm brothers. Title roles are played by a group of grouchy little creatures who must be distantly related to black holes: they eat light and color for breakfast.

For years they had been the leftists who sat by pools in their Hawaiian print shirts, hauling in $1500 a week. Suddenly they were Everyman again, the Everyman they had been writing dialogue for for years. They harbored the screenwriters' dream--to play their own words. When the chance came, they were so noble, so articulate, so right, that almost nobody believed them--anymore than anybody could really believe what they had been writing for the screen all that time...
