...What is the University of California Press doing down in the gutter with this guy?†he asked...
TIME generally avoids slang and jargon and feels gutter language is best left there. Among discouraged words are cop and kid. Also scowled upon are clichés--nothing should become a household name--and the likes of "tantamount to" and "may well," "arguably" and "recently." (One of the managing editor's most sweeping suggestions, arguably, was: "Approach with caution any word that ends with ly.")

...bison evoking an Indian Summer in the Midwest, the story moves backward in time to Glenn and his companion spending sleepless nights together.

But the director's gutter humanism and Kitano's steely meanness fuse elegantly in their portrayal of a ruthless man who, as he builds a new life for himself in Japan, is gripped by a need to destroy what he creates. Even as we're repulsed by Kim's violence and heartlessness, we're seduced by his survivor's charisma-in fact, Kitano's performance is so compelling that Kim's victims have...
