...tremor. So the problem that undergraduates have traditionally had at the Loeb--the sheer inability to occupy the space while maintaining a modicum of subtlety or humanity--is exacerbated. But the approach seems conscious, particularly when Cornuelle places an actor behind a pole during a key confrontation, or has Marina, the old nurse, speak throughout in Russian.

But there is no denying that the drug trade is booming in the small cays. Says Skip Nichols, 33, a Fort Myers marina operator: "Right where Kalia III was found, I have watched drug transactions with my binoculars."
