Dini has inherited a certain lack of expressiveness from his father: in the first big scene between him and the girl, Magda(Aniko Ivan), the two snap mechanically at each other. The listless interchange culminates when Dini hold Magda's arm, saying, "I won't let you go." Magda yanks free with a curt "piss off" and walks away...
...Americans preferred animals in armor; the French were fond of cats and bunnies; and the Germans liked galloping pigs. As fascinating as banners portraying the Jolly Fat Lady, the Cardiff Giant and the proverbial Two-Headed Calf were the artists who created these icons of the bizarre. The exemplary Snap Wyatt, a cigar-smoking sign painter, became one of America's midway masters in his Florida studio. He once built a 9-ft.-tall animated elephant stepping on a convicted Hindu for a traveling "torture show." Behind these neon-bright screams for attention, one can almost hear the barker...
Next came trouble. Before the artificial heart could be put in place, Dacron connectors had to be sewn onto the ends of the two atria, the aorta and the pulmonary artery. The heart snaps into these grooved, circular connectors in a manner that DeVries says is "like closing Tupperware."

VCRS and cassettes are banned in Iran, but thousands have been smuggled in by wealthy Iranians. In Egypt, where the per capita income is $500, the privileged few are eagerly buying VCRs for up to $2,500. The demand...
...nothing holy about the Super Bowl date. He would simply pick up the regular schedule at the third game, where everyone left off, and play it out, perhaps shifting a few games from icy cities as winter stiffens. Is that possible? "This league stopped barnstorming 40 years ago," snaps Rozelle, who usually tries not to snap in the service of the owners. "Is Buffalo going to use Birmingham for six games? Is Green Bay going to use Memphis? The clubs, in my opinion, would have to offer refunds to season-ticket holders who contracted to watch games in October...
