Giving an enormously resourceful performance, James Coco is a kind of vulnerable pixy. He can bare every scar on his psyche and yet coyly tease a line the way a hairdresser teases a curl...
...showed toward me," recalls Hyndman. His personal philosophy about what matters most can be summed up simply as: "It's humanity v. machinery?and human life v. death."
