...would start with a variation of a cheese they have some familiarity with. I'd suggest an aged, clothbound cheddar. This is basically cheddar that is made in a traditional English style, in a big 30- to 50-lb. wheel, not in a block. The wheel is wrapped in cheesecloth and sealed with melted lard or some sort of oil. It's aged in a room on a wood shelf for nine to 14 months. The flavor development is totally different from cheddar that you would, say, grate on an omelet. It's drier, more crumbly and the flavor...
...verifiable facts are chilling enough--and, in places, eerily prescient. Take the 1995 closed-door briefing for President Clinton and 400 officials from the U.S., Canada, Britain and Japan by Bill Patrick, former chief of the Army's bioweapons-development program. Patrick described how terrorists--armed with blenders, cheesecloth, garden sprayers and starter bugs mail-ordered from a U.S. germ bank--could spray enough deadly bacteria in the air intakes of the World Trade Center to infect 25,000 people. If that didn't scare anybody then, it will...
...mixed-media wall-hangings are more visceral than Richards's pale metal sculptures. Boutelle's "Ambivalent Passages" looks like an open gash with blood pouring forward in hues of petrified amber. But her most spectacular piece, "Ambivalent Passages III," seems to defy this straight sanguine categorization. The layers of cheesecloth, beeswax, shellac, oil bar, paint and rice paper that Boutelle uses in her art are here transformed into a composition reminiscent of Gustav Klimt's "Water Serpents," mermaids entangled in algae and veins, now in vivid carmine hues...
...Tony Clifton. Odd as this is, it's nothing on Kaufman. Apparently, when Kaufman was in character as the lizardly Clifton, he would eat food like red meat that the comic, who was a vegetarian, wouldn't normally touch. After such binges, Kaufman would occasionally eat a length of cheesecloth to purge himself. (It's a yoga thing, evidently.) According to USA Today, Carrey was explaining this to new buddy Elton John, who was so amused he sent the comedian some cheese, red wine and packets of cheesecloth. No word yet on whether Carrey partook...
Will evil be transferred along with good and installed in the stainless personoid? Or can the scientists sift the soul through a kind of electronic cheesecloth and remove all the ancient evil traces, the reptilian brain, the lashing violence, the tribal hatred, the will to murder? Will the killer be strained out of the soul? Will the inheritance of Cain be left to wither and die with the human husk, the useless flesh...
