...leaves no action unreflected upon, Truffaut's film is a narrative working at its highest pitch. The bare conditions of each ongoing situation imply the themes to come, the themes through which we would view the next stop in the boy's education. For example, Dr. Itard's incessant note-taking, which we take to be a device of Truffaut's designed to support his voiceover narration, becomes in time a description of the doctor as an animal-that-writes, as we have been seeing the boy as a being-that-blinks-and-gapes. It is exactly this ability...
Initially, the Chinese demanded that Canada acknowledge Peking's claim over Taiwan, which has served as headquarters for Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalist forces since they fled the mainland in 1949. Finally, the Chinese compromised by allowing Canada to announce that it "takes note" of the claim, without further commenting on it.

A mixture of Swiss yodeling and the Negro falsetto, Rodgers took his voice past its highest note and let it break into "T for Texas, T for Tennessee," yodelling on the "T's" and then back into a normal range for the next line...

...just how mean he can be; we winced, shuddered, and were immediately left wishing for more. The next song "I Smell Trouble," also had something nice to offer. Near the end of the song, Tina would sing a line alone and Ike's guitar would duplicate the line, note for note, with identical phrasing. Again, it was all too short, but so sweet. The show closed with "Land Of a Thousand Dances" in a burst of strobe-light flashes, but unfortunately without the finishing touch. The climax of most shows (as at the Summerthing gig) features Ike shooting a cloud...
