To the delight of cameramen, the President posed in old-fashioned overalls (when working on his father's farm), full Indian headdress (speaking to a crowd of ten thousand Sioux), and cowboy chaps and hat (on vacation in South Dakota).

Nothing stirs that I can hear, and it is too dark to see. My toes brush the stiff straps of my leather sandals, which I remember to shake out in case a scorpion has decided to rest there.

Schnabel convinces us we ARE Bauby by using the camera in unique ways. We got the rare opportunity to experience the real human that is in every one of us.
