...late S.K. Kim, demanded a $10 million contribution, but settled for $1 million in 1966 after "heated discussions." Gulf forked over another $3 million in 1971. Both payments, Dorsey told the committee, were made in response to "pressure which left little to the imagination as to what would occur" to Gulf's Korean holdings if the company said no.

But his adherence to a visual world where details reign supreme and where events occur without apparent consequences not only divests Paul and Adriana of any real inner complexity; it also undercuts whatever representativeness they might have by fragmentating their relations with society into symbols of isolation and solitude. Paul's eventual defeat in the election is merely an incidental event, denuded of any comment...
