...been involved in what could become a prosecution for homicide, his body was technically evidence. In Texas, it is illegal to put "evidentiary material" beyond the reach of a prosecutor-and that would include Nicks's heart, which would certainly be beyond reach inside a transplant patient's chest. Anticipating the problem. Cooley had a talk with the county medical examiner, who finally agreed to take no action under this provision. Only then did Cooley give Nicks's heart to John Stuckwish, 62, of Alpine, Texas...
...improbable quest through Prague for morphine to ease his clandestine patient's pain, Dr. Braun seeks out his sister, who has been reduced to the level of working as a cleaning woman in a Nazi-run brothel. He first blunders into the girls' shower room-giving Brynych an excuse for a breathtaking study of the splash and spray of water on naked female forms. Later, the camera encounters a nightmare revel of swinish soldiers among whom the girls are herded like cattle before being returned to their stalls. In a corner, Braun comes upon the body, ignored...
Director Brynych's stark, symbolic explorations of human despair lift The Fifth Horseman to a high level of creative cinema. The search by the secret police for Braun's wounded patient is more conventional, though still visually exciting. When the other tenants living in Braun's apartment house are eventually implicated, they become only too willing to sacrifice him to the Nazis, and when at last they are forced to pass his dead body on the stairs, only a madwoman and a child so much as give it a glance...
...Doctors called in prescribed second-hand ridicule of institutions, elaborate diction, convoluted sentence structure, redundancy and random scoffing, but The Harvard Lampoon grew increasingly incoherent and seemed to lose touch with humanity. Specialists flew in from as far afield as Michigan and Rhode Island, and succeeded in alleviating the patient's suffering in its last hours. Observers sometimes found it difficult to follow osteopath David McClelland's complicated juxtaposition of photographs, clever cartoons, nonsense and witty social commentary, all woven into an adventure story. But McClelland's method, which he calls "The Great Goodison Toad Hunt" restored some...
Girard needed not only luck to gather any meaningful information about the vast, xenophobic country, but a lot of patient plodding and unusual methods as well. His persistence paid off, and the result, Nagel's Encyclopedia Guide to China, was published in French last year and has just appeared in an English translation. A 1,504-page compendium of hard-to-come-by information on China, it should be a delight both for China-watchers and for general readers who want to shell out $19.95 for a vicarious trip...
