...Brecht. As ladies in waiting attend the Queen, they are addressed from the rear by fornicating lackey-lovers. When Mary calls for her dogs, a bevy of stuffed canines are propped up before her. She chooses to disremember that she once had a hound killed for losing the scent in a foxhunt. Like unskilled pickpockets, her attendants try to plunder her last remaining jewelry. A marvelously comic doctor-apothecary team (John Bottom and Ron Faber) get the Queen deliriously squiffed on drugs before she attains her final serenely regal composure...

We sniff at the air, spicing our senses with the scent of golden pine needles that drop like errant arrows to the forest floor...
...chance to dig out the survivors," said a Danish journalist. As more help arrived from 30 countries, bringing some $1.5 million worth of aid and equipment, rescuers were often at cross-purposes. Swiss and French avalanche dogs, trained to sniff out buried bodies, were thrown off the scent by powerful disinfectants that were sprayed on buildings to keep decaying bodies from spreading disease. French microphonic devices, flown in to monitor buildings for faint sounds of breathing, were useless in the din of bulldozers...
