That system is described in the current Journal of Popular Culture, an issue devoted chiefly to U.S. circuses, carnivals and fairs, and intended "to introduce the carnival to the social scientist." Three of the contributors have ties to the carnival or circus worlds: Sociologist Marcello Truzzi of New College in Sarasota, Fla., whose father was the juggler Massimiliano Truzzi; Sociologist Patrick Easto of Eastern Michigan University, whose mother was a carnival stripper; and Social Psychologist Theodore Dembroski of Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, who was born into a carnival family and takes a job as a carnival worker, or "carnie...

A bookish, earnest, timid sociologist writing a thesis on criminal women, Dussollier interviews Camille in prison and becomes enraptured by her exploits; his scholarly dispassion buckles as she relates her history of adultery, theft and even-perhaps-murder. He becomes her vicarious paramour, and her champion, determined to prove her innocent of the murder of a lover (Charles Denner). She is, through his strenuous dedication, finally acquitted...
