“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past....

“The name of the town isnt important. Its the one thats just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express.

Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (19091993)
