At the end of Part I, they were imprisioned by our hero's father and doomed to float about the galaxy in a funky outer-space jail cell.

He delivered a rambling homily about the American Indian, his favorite cause, and suggested that "sometimes, just staying alive is a push for excellence." Explained a Brando aide about...
