...mopeds - with many worthy extras: a nice debut turn by Alex Rocco as a man whose wife the gang raped; a cameo by Meyer as the sexist sheriff who snaps, as regards Rocco's wife, "Nothin' happened to her a woman's not built for!"; and the legendary snake-venom scene where Rocco instructs leading lady Haji to "Suck it! Suck it out!") Finally, "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!", which doesn't need my exclamation points, since it comes with three of its own, and which film director and cultural garbalogist John Waters proclaimed "the best movie ever made...
...Ahmed's greatest venom is directed at the models. "Every time an outsider is hired, a family of 10 is done out of a week's rations," he grumbles. The models argue that they work hard for their money, go through an audition process like everyone else, and shouldn't be held responsible for the shortcomings of others.

(That's Pao's specialty; other monks draw animals or religious symbols.) Finished with the inscription, Pao whispers a prayer...
...Oklahoma City there was no such venom because money never became the subject of a public debate. Sure, the media rushed to cover Johnnie Cochran's unsuccessful lawsuit against a fertilizer manufacturer, and victims and relatives put in a bid to sue federal agencies should evidence emerge that they had forewarning of the bombing. But the Oklahoma state victim-compensation program paid only for expenses such as medical and burial costs, with a limit of $10,000 per victim. The feds issued $1.4 million in emergency grants and in 1997 gave victims and relatives a little travel money to attend...
