...behave like "a real man." It's startling to see Serrault in overalls, sticking out his jaw, adopting a simian gait and snarling "Faggot!" at a rude driver. Later, when the aggressively hetero band of agents wants to guard the couple while remaining inconspicuous, they don dresses and uni-sex apparel. Renato teaching the tough guys how to walk effeminately creates a wonderful parallel to the scene in the first La Cage in which he tried to show Albin how to "eat with masculinity...

...cheaper items. Johnny Jones, 46, superintendent of schools for the 225,000-pupil Dade Coun ty system, fifth largest in the nation, approved the purchase as a "special needs" requisition, which took it out of normal channels of review. On the records, the material was listed as "basketball uni forms and equipment." Principal Barnes maintained that he had been planning to start a plumb ing class in the high school. Jones added: "It's not unusual for a principal to look for the best quality, even if it does cost more." But state investigators discovered that both Jones...

But critics and scholars have lots of time to catch up. MacDonald's mind still brims with mayhem for McGee. And there are lots of colors to go. "Let's see," says John D., sitting down to work.

But neither will the calculated "uni-tone" of Time magazine or the caution--sometimes necessary but not always illuminating--of "objective" journalism. The Great Shark Hunt ensures that the "bad craziness" that a lot of people would like to forget will be preserved, and not die on the trash heaps of Rolling Stone's disintegrating bound...
