The astronauts reasserted the chief mate Starbuck's cool, professional sanity. Not intellect, but intelligence. Not evil, but remediable errors, course corrections, chatter from Capcom to Houston.

In Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler each cut to a new scene added new fantastic settings, new wonders for the intellect, new dimensions in depth for the soul. Here they limit freedom of action, tie the physical to the physical in an ever-closing...
