...against the arrest of university professors. Despite such delays (he was jailed for a few days each year, "usually around Easter time," as a reminder), he graduated as a "Learned Economist" in 1925; soon after he got permission to leave the country, to recuperate from an operation on his jaw. He never returned...

...remake his fortune at the dice tables. To Jane, the visit is one long remembrance of things past, for it was in Las Vegas that she loved and left Victor Mature, a local policeman. In their big confrontation scene, Jane delicately dilates her nostrils and Victor clenches his jaw so hard that his ears wiggle, thus making it clear to the dullest moviegoer that this is an incendiary passion...
