...odor was intense, like paper or wood burning," Wall said. "The smell had really permeated the building...
When a baby is born, it can see and hear and smell and respond to touch, but only dimly. The brain stem, a primitive region that controls vital functions like heartbeat and breathing, has completed its wiring. Elsewhere the connections between neurons are wispy and weak. But over the first few months of life, the brain's higher centers explode with new synapses. And as dendrites and axons swell with buds and branches like trees in spring, metabolism soars. By the age of two, a child's brain contains twice as many synapses and consumes twice as much energy...
Isaac Geldhart (Ron Rifkin), the head of a family publishing house, loves the very bookness of books--their smell, new or old, and the texture of fine paper, on which is written witness to a century of atrocity.

Soon after, Isaac lapses into a madness that estranges him from the world as fully as from his family...

...deftly creating a Leninist's Somerville apartment living room scene so accurate you can almost smell the ramen, set designer Marc Jimenez has come up with a realism equal to much of the characterization and dialogue that Schnairsohn provides for the characters who inhabit the space. Perry is the perfect name for a revolutionary, and Ian is the perfect name for a great lover. Kudos to Sarah Lohrius '98 for providing the smallest of props to add effect to this scene, especially the treasure troll on the mantelpiece, the broken eight-track machine and the portrait of Jimi Hendrix...
