Domestic and Cosmic. "Consider for instance the small scene just underneath the curve of the ceiling between the Prophet Jeremiah and the Sibyl Persica. This triangular picture shows the family of Salmon, one of the ancestors of Jesus. Here, the child leans upon his mother's knee and watches her cutting cloth with a big pair of shears. The pull of the fabric points your eye to something which is happening near by. Glancing up and to the right, you meet with the image in which God the Creator divides Light from Darkness. You are witnessing the same thing...
Still, those eyes often have little to do with the law: A white girl, blonde and well-dressed, with a leather skirt and wonderful white thighs surging underneath, stands tall on the stand in front of the court. She looks back at the spectators over her shoulder with one eye, brushing her hair back. It is the coldest look I have ever seen.

When air is pumped into the disks, they assume a doughnut shape, raising the platform and its heavy load from 1 to 3 in. As the bearings become inflated, air escaping through perforations in the doughnut seeps underneath it. That thin film of escaping air suspends platform and plane above the concrete surface...
...FIRST act we did was the three clowns. It was all comedy that we were doing, hitting each other with broomsticks, and they'd pull the pants off me and I had a dress underneath that flared out this way here, and big rubber sponges for muscles on the thighs and the calves of the legs. It was a very funny act, it was a scream. It lasted for a constant eight or nine minutes; it didn't stop a second. From there on, I get tired of it after a while. Meanwhile, one of the acrobats that was with...
