Before that, he earned a master's degree in urban affairs at Boston College, worked with Boston street gangs for the U.S. Office of Education, was the first director of HEW's Office of Students and Youth, was a Senate aide to Walter Mondale and headed Ralph Nader's organization in Connecticut.

...instance, the hero first experiences sex (in the form of bestiality), the panting of a chorus of unseen copulators overwhelms the action. Later, a moment of incongruous accordion music smashes the film's pastoral hush to prefigure Ledda's liberation from the enforced silence of his youth.
