...Pascal Calabrese, the former Mrs. Leonhard's new husband, was paroled soon after his testimony helped convict five Mafiosi, including a reputed underboss who got 20 years.

That was fine for them, but "what about me?" Leonhard asks...
Sages. Not everybody can, does or will But in some quarters Castaneda s works are extravagantly admired as a revival of a mode of cognition that has been largely neglected in the West, buried by materialism and Pascal's despair, since the Renaissance.

Gabriel Pascal produced and directed the film, which is photographed by four top British cameramen in florid Technicolor; Vivien Leigh and Claude Rains ham it up nicely as the title characters...

Words were so valuable, so freighted with nuance and intent, that aphorisms could be written which illustrated the world. Pascal, that ardent custodian of language, would have endorsed Mallarme's notion that "Tout, au monde, existe pour aboutir a un livre."
