Davis: I think you have to be realistic about what a movie is. On one level it is entertainment and on another level it's a statement. This film, however, more than any other, is going to expose the stereotypes. I mean, Bill Pullman doesn't become a zombie, he's a poison victim, and it's completely consistent with my own hypothesis about how this kind of thing could work...
...rare hour with Sam as we approached sundown and Alexandria: Nita had talked him into pulling off his shoes and lying down in a Pullman. "I don't golf, I don't fish. This is my recreation," he said. "I love it." He went into the offstage dealing you do to separate a candidate from the pack and make him a front runner, and if this were a political account we would put the tricks into the ledger.

Though the young Larson liked to draw dinosaurs and gorillas, he did not dream of becoming a cartoonist.

At that point, said British Passenger Michael Thexton, "everyone made a dash for it. I climbed out onto a wing and jumped down onto the tarmac...
Elbow grease and friends help. Larry Bauman, 36, a petroleum geologist, and five partners bought the Palm Leaf in 1982 for $5,000. After 5,000 hours and an investment of $100,000, the gleaming silver Pullman is within a few weeks of rolling out of Denver. Is it worth it? To paraphrase J.P. Sr.: If you have to ask, it's not. "You have a sense of travel in a train car," says Bauman. "In a yacht, what can you do? Go out to the horizon and turn around and come back. Here you can see America...
