...anything else technical. But how much can you root for this show? It's just not enough fun or makeshift enough to put you on the side of the creators. On a professional scale--you can forget about bombing in New Haven--this show would be lucky to limp out of Bridgeport without a lynching. It's a conceit, and that's all right, but whose conceit is it? The question of what constituency the Pudding and its scripts represent seems to have come late in Cardinal Knowledge when an innocent cast member dared to drop a line that even...
With that, the warden made a slight motion with his left hand, and a rifle volley shattered the silence. "Bang! Bang! Bang! Three noises," Witness Schiller reported later. Actually, four bullets tore into Gilmore's heart, twisting his body, which then turned limp. Blood slowly poured out, staining the bullet-pocked chair. Two minutes later, at 8:07 a.m. on Jan. 17, Gary Gilmore was declared dead. He was the first prisoner to be executed in the U.S. since 1967.

One puzzles over the nature of their metamorphoses, wondering if they are stirring into yawns or anguished gapes; labored breathing or sensual sighs; pained squirming or the muscle-stretching that normally accompanies awakening; farts or animal grunts...
...think she was putting together a mental list of everything money can buy--a little project to while away the time. And she figured an American should know about luxury. Most country people refused to be taken in, as they saw it, by a thin cotton dress and a limp wallet. After all, you need money to get past that ocean. I would catch this woman scrutinizing me warily and abruptly, waiting for the truth to out about my customary, high falutin' life-style...
