...James Dean (the star of perhaps the first rock and roll movie, Rebel Without a Cause) on a cheaply-paneled witness stand, we knew Dylan was never going to tell us the whole truth and nothing but the truth, no matter how solemnly he promised. There was always the wink, the knowing aside. About Dylan there were only rumors--his face is horribly disfigured from the motorcycle crash, he's in Nashville, no I mean Jerusalem, did you know he sends his kids to the Putney School?

Race discrimination, of course, is minutely written into the statute books-an outgrowth of the Afrikaners' urge to codify.
