...first ideological supervisor he meets in the camps is typical of his later opinions of encounters with party representatives: "I was beginning to like this odd man more and more. Beneath his portentous manner he was human and generous. He just happened to take his job as cell monitor very seriously." The cell monitors are also prisoners, but they are handy with the Communist catechism and able to patiently lead the study sessions in which the members of a cell bring up one another's and their own faults and doubts for criticism and correction. Personal grudges aren't supposed...
...area. O November 25, 1974, the American aircraft carrier Constellation sailed into the Persian Gulf on what was officially described as a "familiarization" mission.

...boys keep up a sputtering fire of obscene expletives, raw sexual gibes and smutty innuendo. The girls and the model give as good-or as ill-as they get. Allott does not monitor this chatter, but he does deliver scathingly caustic appraisals of each individual's sketches as well as alienating colleagues (Peter de Maio). After Act II gets under way, Allott suggests that he might take the place of the model for a while. Before he does anything about it, one of the randier boys begins stripping, grabs the model, pins her down and rapes her before...
