...Originally a Londoner, Cotterill was working as an English teacher in Australia when he first became interested in Laos - meeting refugees who had fled the communist takeover. One man in particular, a former Cabinet minister in the royalist government, later suggested a model for Dr. Siri. "They were more than cynical," Cotterill says of the émigrés.

Then the communists moved in and suddenly this lifestyle was taken from them...

("If we're insane," says Amy Ryan as a prostitute subjected to electroshock therapy for her outspokenness, "nobody has to listen to us.") Her only ally...
...those in between pay taxes—their children should not be forced to attend public schools where only certain political beliefs are encouraged. Consequently, we support the Manhattan Federal District Court’s recent ruling in favor of a New York City policy prohibiting public school teachers from wearing political paraphernalia in the classroom.
