Staying the Course. It was then up to Director Daniel Mann (Butterfield 8, The Rose Tattoo) to put the rats through their dramatic paces. He may well go down in cinematic history as the Cecil B. DeMille of rodent movies: the rats swarm through Willard as if they were born to stardom. There was one problem, though: getting enough rat shrieks for the sound track. With a watchful fellow from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in daily attendance, the sound men had to be crafty. One day, when the A.S.P.C.A. man was not looking, they...
...Visual Delights. At Ravenswood last week, Boudreau unveiled yet another newly commissioned work, Report, by an up-and-coming Czechoslovak composer named Lubos Fiser (pronounced Fish-er). Report is a mesmerizing symphonic tattoo in which marchlike rhythms blend effortlessly with geometric splashes of sound. It was hardly a hit with the audience, though.

Schoolchildren would scramble forward to slay papier-mâché dragons representing poverty, ignorance and disease. Fireworks would ignite the southern sky. At midnight a throaty cheer of "Uhuru!" (Swahili for "freedom") or "Kwacha!" ("dawn" in Bemba and Nyanja) would shake the ground as the flag of the colonial power was lowered and the colors of the new nation raised...
Simultaneous Sessions. Servicemen still stop in for "Mother" or "Death Before Dishonor" tattoos, but Tuttle's place is considered neutral ground when it comes to sociological or political disputes. He still marvels at the congeniality of two recent customers who chatted and chuckled together through simultaneous tattoo sessions. One, a black man in a beret, was having a panther tattooed on his back. The other walked out with a red and blue Confederate flag unfurled on his white shoulder...
