	The Buddha and Catch-22
		There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.
		Dunbar, given to cultivating boredom, to seeking eternity, lies motionless in bed: he goes so far in his efforts that at one point Yossarian, looking at him, wonders whether he is still alive.
		It is common, of course, for beginning meditators to be assailed by boredom (as well as the other four hindrances); however, this does not justify equating boredom and meditation: on the contrary, boredom is an enemy of meditation.

	A Triumphant 'Catch'
		It's also the catch that makes underground literary critics out of men who, when they signed on for their jobs, thought that all they had to do was to sit in the dark, facing forward, with their eyes propped open.
		It is, in fact, the catch to every film adaptation of every novel, even those that are written with one eye on Hollywood and the other on a Swiss bank account.
		But there's a catch: I'm not sure that the movie will make complete sense, or that it can be fully appreciated, unless one has read and admired the book.

	Catch 22 - J. Heller
		Joseph Heller's 'Catch 22' is a war-satire in the tradition of the Theatre of the Absurd.

	Nagel
		The American economic classes are well represented in Nately, a wealthy but somewhat simple romantic, Aarfy, an economic striver who is the most blind and corrupt character of all, and Dunbar, the son of a poor man who worked himself to death trying to compete within the system.
		It is clear that the military, with its form letter of condolence, its power struggles, its bureaucracy, its bombing of villages to block roads, is the insane factor in the novel and that Yossarian, who really does feel himself "too good for all the conventions of society," endorses a much more humane standard for sanity.
		Nearly every facet of American life is made laughable through either diminution or hyperbole, from Milo’s incredible capitalism to the Anabaptist chaplain’s Christianity, which is expected to assist in getting tighter bomb patterns.

	Catch-22 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pacing of Catch 22 is frenetic, its tenor is intellectual, and its humor is largely absurdist — but with grisly moments of realism interspersed.
		As the Czech writer Arnošt Lustig recounts in his latest book 3x18, Joseph Heller personally told him that he would never have written Catch-22 had he not first read The Good Soldier Švejk by Jaroslav Hašek.
		A magazine excerpt from the novel was originally published as "Catch-18," but Heller changed the title after another World War II novel, Leon Uris's Mila 18, was published.

		Nurse Duckett tries to tell Yossarian that she overheard a conversation concerning Dunbar that "they're going to disappear him." Yossarian can't make any sense of what she is saying nor does she understand the meaning of he words either.
		The theme of insanity is again discussed when Yossarian doesn't understand Dunbar's disappearance or Nately's reasoning of wanting to risk his life and fly more missions so that he can stay near his "whore" whom he loves and doesn't want to leave.
		In the hospital, the subject of "the soldier in white" resurfaces and he is associated with the concept of "disappearance" of people.

	Amazon.ca: Catch-22 (Widescreen): DVD
		Dunbar, on the other hand, actually had a very large part in the book, serving as Yossarian's side-kick.
		My main problem with the film, however, is that two very important characters from the book are completely and utterly not in the movie: Clevinger and Dunbar.
		Clevinger, while only in the first few chapters of the book, had a lot of very interesting things to say about Yossarian's behavior, and would have just been a good character to have.

	Free Essays on Catch-22

		The men are grounded if they are insane, but if they recognize the insanity of their missions, they are sane--and must fly more missions.
