...tongue and odd pauses, often reveal lying, Ekman says, but body language provides the richest lode of information because liars usually do not bother to conceal it. When he showed volunteers films of several nursing students, some of whom had been told to lie, those volunteers who saw only soundless, neck-down films of the students were able to identify the liars and truth tellers about 65% of the time. A control group that studied only the faces and heard the words of the nurses got 50% of the answers correct, no better than chance...

That is, the four professional mu sicians (two guitarists, drummer and pianist) Stein hired to play in the shadows downstage sound terrific.

Chatting with one an other as they stand around in the glare of headlights and the harsh light of a gasoline lantern, most of the waiting hunters seem honest...

Soundless and inert in itself, it can in action induce a sense of rushing speed and frenetic energy; in tranquillity, a sense of meditative peace. In the most bleak of concrete jungles, water is a hope and a memory, a green thought in an ungreen shade...
