"I'm from the jungle too. I listen to the drums."
--The Great White Hope
Dreamed of a non-existent scene in The Caine Mutiny where the crew is stranded on a small Pacific island with an impossibly wide range of wildlife.
Got a few more Ebay comics, including an issue of Millie the Model we had when I was young.
Dinner was churrasco chicken.
Saw the DVD of Martin Ritt's movie of the Howard Sackler play The Great White Hope, a fictional version of the story of Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion, who was prosecuted for marrying a white woman. (Interracial marriage back then--about 100 years ago--was like same-sex marriage today!) Its theatrical origins show, in a very '60s way.
