Around here, prejudice too often leads to more than insults. On April 21, John Harvey and Erman Benally died after being stripped, beaten and covered with burning rags. Six days later David Ignacio, his ribs crushed, died after a two-hour battle for breath. For the three white teen-agers who confessed to the murders, their sin was locally viewed by Indian haters as mainly one of degree. Harassing drunken Indians is considered a prank by Farmington high-schoolers...
Tetley is determined to link modern techniques with classical form -hence the title Gemini. The ballet's main fault lies in the intensity with which Tetley states his position. Neither dancers nor audience have time to catch their breath for reflection on the extremities of motion and emotion to which they are constantly pushed.

Besides, Mother always knew how many I had had; I'd have chocolate breath. Also, that was before anyone had to worry about what the neighbors might have injected into the bar. The special neighbors always saved a big candy bar for their good little friends. That certainly solidified their neighborhood reputation...
...Tropic of Capricorn shocked a generation some 40 years ago, said that while he had advanced ideas about sex, he does not approve of the even more radical notions of women's liberation. Denying that he is a misogynist, he said, "I really love women." In the next breath he said of sex equality, "I'm against it." Then he got onto a subject that cheered him up: Oriental women. "They're tender, loving, beautiful, gracious and thoroughly feminine...
