I personally have trouble calming my conscience by claiming that the atrocities in Sudan are genocide in effect but not in intent...
...Angeles to live with them. Turpin doesn't figure heavily in the debut, but there's a brief scene in which he cuddles Anje.

...particular richness. It shakes Frank and Charlie out of their beds and leaves them homeless. They wander the devastated streets, hearing screams from those buried alive. Shuffling through ankle-high ash as a result of the firestorms that destroyed more of the city than the earthquake, the guys sleep on the street, dig latrines for food and even open a hot dog stand for construction workers, but are undersold by a stand next door that horded free groceries...
