Harris' looks are unfortunate. Pale and skinny, he is the antithesis of the recruiting-poster image of a Navy officer. His face has a furtive cast to it, his chin is narrow, and when he takes his glasses off, he has a wide-eyed, rabbity look. Harvard-educated Harris, 30, gives the appearance of being a timorous man, one who might well lose control under fire. While he now shows few signs of the brutal treatment he received at the hands of the North Koreans, Harris was hospitalized and confined to a wheelchair following the crew's release...
...played their last scene a bit too loudly; the audience didn't half fill the theatre and those that did were none too responsive. Leven seemed to regard it all with controlled stoicism mixed, quite surprisingly, with more hope than desperation. He appears an unassuming man with enigmatic pale eyes and a small mustache. If, someday, someone makes a film called The Jeremy Leven Story --which is quite unlikely given the pervasive tenuousness surrounding the man's present existence--it wouldn't be surprising to find Alan Arkin playing the lead in his most restrained and subdued manner...

The general atmosphere is one of sombre death and the expectation of death, illuminated only briefly by an abortive infatuation. The problem with scenic representation of Pelleas et Melisande...

Finally, we walked the way he pointed, found the rickety New Boonville Hotel, roused a pale clerk, and were shown to a room where the floor had the solidity of a trampoline and the only decoration was a 1948 calendar from a Chinese laundry in San Francisco...
...Studies in the summer before your freshman year, and at registration there was a display with military things on a clean white table-cloth, with a tidy-looking officer standing nearby. Later, looking for your Math 21 section in Shannon Hall you might have wandered along one of the pale green corridors lined with recruiting posters and framed prints of bombers and medals. And trudging up to your room one fall afternoon, you happened to meet the guy across the hall on the way down, incredibly transformed into a uniformed soldier, and you were both a little embarrassed...
