...Wagner pouring out of choppers. Francis Ford Coppola comes so close to coaxing this monstrous myth into flight. Yet, at the end he fails because he abandons it. Making myth isn't enough for Coppola, he has to lay bare Evil. But a behemoth--like Marlon Brando, fingering his pate in semi-darkness and blubbering out The Hollow Men isn't Evil. Conrad knew that Evil isn't shown, but alluded to, when he wrote "The horror, the horror". Isn't that why we have myths and symbols after...
This will be like turning pigs' knuckles into pate, but Rense, 47, has performed similar transmutations in the past.

All along the wedding route, spectators wrapped themselves in flags and youths painted the Union Jack...

So when the drought was finally broken with a win in the Danny Thomas-Memphis Classic, Pate made up for it, striding right off the 18th green and diving into a lake in celebration. Pate, who won the U.S. Open in his rookie year (1976), had another good reason for taking the plunge: the victory made him, at 27, the youngest golfer ever to earn more than $1 million in tournament purses. "I hadn't won in so long, I wanted to make...
