...three, four. What do you think those skates are for? Slice 'em, slice 'em, slice 'em," band members screamed...
...century detritus. Brazil is a place, like Stalin's Russia or the British welfare state, where everything is planned but nothing quite works. A Rube Goldberg spy machine kibitzes with a roving bloodshot electronic eye, then wheels away in a deranged gait. Giggling plastic surgeons do their "snip snip slice slice" with metal clamps and Saran Wrap. Sam and a man in the next office share a desk that each keeps yanking through his own side of the dividing wall. Every romantic impulse is stifled by the system's suffocating incompetence. In one poignant scene, Sam descends in an open...

Innocent slices of ordinary commercial bread are slowly baking drier than the University plans to make this campus. And all by a gleaming chrome technological fiasco with an industrial-size plug that looks like it was salvaged from one of the early electric chairs...
