...suppose so, yes - the adrenaline that you need to do these acts of resistance might also push you to be very candid and straightforward sexually. My interest in sexuality is well-known, but here I was supported by historical fact. The character of the girl, Ellis, is based on three Dutch women, one of whom was asked by the resistance to start an affair with a German officer, and did so, and then fell in love with him.

...University of Washington who just spent a week in Los Angeles doing parkour for a sneaker commercial. "They don't understand that we're training thousands of times on the ground, all these different vaults, all this precision." Parkour websites post daily homework in the form of push-ups and other exercises, and some veterans urge "noobies" not to show up for training sessions until they can run a good three miles.
