...Sure looked like they did." a former salesman said. "Some people just look at the encyclopedia and have to have it. Once you've gotten all those commitments from them, there's just no way for them to back...
...good, but very successful. His coverage of our two Asian wars. Korea and Vietnam, have made him the best-known photographer in America. His photos have always confirmed things that we already knew, or thought we knew.

It offers no way out, and in that, it is a theatre of desperation. But I'm not sure that theatre can ever be therapeutic. People come to laugh and be entertained. They want to see bedrooms and bathrooms, and that's what we give them in The Proposition...
