And he starred in the movie To Kill a Mockingbird. In the same era, he was in three well done The Outer Limits episodes: "The Chameleon" and "The Inheritors Pt. 1 & 2". In "The Chameleon" we shocking learn a man can be killed by a fly-swater, so viewer beware.

And a Twilight Zone episode, too.

One more Duvall, this total insanity surfing in Apocalypse Now:
If kerosene = perfume in Fahrenheit, what did napalm = in Apocalypse?

Well, I believe the Duvall character loved "the smell of napalm in the morning". Therefore I can only assume that, in Apocalypse Now, napalm = bacon!

Or possibly cinnamon rolls...

Phil, you are always so astute!
Right. Bacon, two eggs "over easy," a cinnamon roll, and a hot cup of black coffee.

We need a touch of steadfast Sir Winston in this day and age!

For anyone interested in Herman Melville's MOBY DICK, here's news of an initiative for a new annotated edition - for which fundraising site Kickstarter is being used. (I should say I have no connection to this initiative, except that it has been set up by someone from Liverpool University, where I am doing my PhD.)

"I hope when I grow up and am a writer, I'll remember what it's like to be a kid so I can write it down..."

From Garrison Keillor's monologue minutes ago (so I may not have it verbatim) but WE know what author absolutely DID remember and DID write it down!
