...underground name, Tania, was found in May 1974 signed to a fiery slogan written on a wall: "Patria O Muerte, Venceremos" (Fatherland or death, we shall overcome). She maintained that she was living in a "fog" and a "perpetual state of terror." Then, recently, she began to experience "lucid intervals," and, wanting to get in touch with her parents, returned to San Francisco. But she was so disoriented that she had not been able to make contact with her family. The first realization that she had been living in a "fantasy world" came after her arrest when "her mother...
Aesthetic sense demands ironic distance, be it geographic or in time, because what is unconsciously accepted is often also what is most beautiful.

You tell her where it's at and she grabs it." For Black, acting is like grabbing at air. She says that she plans nothing about a character and gives a role "no prior thought...
...aspects of aging. The Jury family, of Clarks Summit, Pa., watched helplessly as "Grandpa" Frank Tugend faded. The Jurys kept the retired coal miner with them, bearing with him as he became confused and forgetful, cleaning up after him as he lost control of his bodily functions. In his lucid moments, the proud 81-year-old Tugend knew what was happening to him. One day he took out his false teeth and refused to eat any more. He had decided to die, and no one-not his doctor, not his family-could do anything to change that. His children...
