...Sophie-Nathan pairing should be a memorable collision. Since Sophie must speak with a Polish accent, Streep plans to study Polish five days a week for three months before filming begins. "I don't know how I see the character yet," says Streep. "I'm still in the 'intuit' stage, and I haven't picked her apart yet. First I'll learn Polish. Then I'll forget me. Then I'll get to her. That's my plan of action...
Different Ending. Probably Simon is too normal (if the word does not sound pejorative) to intuit the inner nature of the characters he has put onstage. He is too self-disciplined, too efficient, too morally responsible, ever to be able to understand an Evy except from the outside. Laughter is a form of incessant motion in Simon's work.

Vonnegut told us, when two friends and I visited him at his home early this fall, that...
...decision based on the data." One must give up trying to isolate cause and effect, and see that the process of the universe is an infinitely complex one, that every particle -- including one's consciousness -- is part of every other mote. If you see this, if you can intuit the flow of the universe -- for it is in you as you are in it -- and make yourself one with the flow, then you will stand apart from the illusion of "cause and effect." You will have what you desire because you will desire nothing. You will have attained enlightenment...
