		Moreover, the reader shares the fixer's sense that the entire episode is absurd -- that a man who is at most guilty of a misdemeanor (living illegally in a restricted area) is being made to suffer beyond all endurance.
		Finally, in a powerful and effective scene, the authorities inform the fixer that he is to be released as part of a general pardon of certain classes of prisoners issued by the Tsar in honor of the three-hundredth anniversary of the rule of the House of Romanov.
		The fixer's articulation of Spinoza's views is usually comical, and he often remains puzzled about these ideas even as his own life exhibits their truth.

	The Fixer
		Abilities: Though possessed of little formal education, the Fixer is an intuitive mechanical genius with an almost limitless capacity for invention and innovation.
		Since Zemo's Masters regrouped in the guise of the Thunderbolts, the Fixer has been absolutely indispensable to their operations -- several of the Thunderbolts owe their powers, appearance, equipment or even their very existence to Techno's skills; however, his colossal ego and increasingly frequent grandstanding have kept his teammates from becoming too fond of him.
		Fixer's closest friend was probably his long-time criminal partner Mentallo.

		Mentallo and the Fixer is the industrial brainchild of two brothers from Texas, Gary and Dwayne Dassing.
		Mentallo and the Fixer derived its name from a pair of comic book characters whose origins have long since faded into obscurity.The Dassing brothers were raised on rock music, so their first instruments were actually the guitar (Dwayne) and drums (Gary).
		Gary quickly returned in 2000 with another Mentallo and the Fixer album, called "Love is the Law" Following in the same vein as the previous release, "Love is the Law" was yet another endeavor into the more experimental and avant-garde style of electronic music.

	The Fixer - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		Joe Sacco frames the book using his journeys to Bosnia where he meets and befriends The Fixer's namesake Neven, a finagling Bosnian who couples reporters with interviews and stories for a price (a bit of cash in Neven's pocket and a bit of objectivity out of the journalists).
		At its simplest level, The Fixer is a detailed character study of Neven, as a friend, businessman and soldier.
		Neven's local renown is gained through his stories of defending Sarajevo against the Serbs as part of the Green Berets, a "collection of autonomous armed cells built around popular or self-elected leaders." In order to repel the better supplied Serbs from the hills around Sarajevo, the government integrated these cells into the official military.

		Thus, The Fixer feeds its audience a steady diet of explanatory monologues and speeches in which we are told bit by bit what goes on inside the characters’ minds.
		In The Fixer, we do get to see Bates in the buff, but naked or clothed—and in spite of his Academy Award nomination—he is never convincing as anything but a well-educated Englishman.
		In the film, Yakov is none too subtly portrayed as a Christ-like figure who, because of his devotion to a liberating cause, is tortured, beaten, and raped by the representatives of a cruel society.

		In the battleground of Sarajevo, fixers are the men who find journalists the carnage and tragedy they need to feed the public back home.
		And here's the crux of the book, for through this relationship of the journalist and his paid source The Fixer questions how much we can trust the news when profit is involved, to say nothing of an audience that demands ever-increasing amounts of sensationalism simply to stay tuned.
		Wounded in combat, Neven became a fixer but was intimately involved-as a legitimate soldier, guerilla irregular and victimized citizen-in every aspect of the bloody conflict.

	The Fixer Summary & Essays - Bernard Malamud
		Bernard Malamud based The Fixer on the case of Mendel Beilis, a Jewish bookkeeper for a brick factory who was accused of ritualistically murdering a Christian child.
		The Beilis case is credited with being one of the main contributing factors in bringing about the Russian Revolution by raising the sense of distrust Russian citizens felt toward their government and the anger of people around the world.
		The political situation surrounding the case is hardly touched upon in The Fixer.

		Though actually their second album, Revelations 23 was their first proper release, and gained the attention of Metropolis Records, who began their long association with Mentallo and the Fixer with this release.
		Gary's vision is different from his previous work, with the incorporation of live drumming, a more experimental approach to electronics, and a more positive outlook on the state of things.
		Gary returned in 2000 with a final Mentallo and the Fixer album, called Love is the Law, which is aimed especially at all of the underground fans who have supported his work.

		"The Fixer" focuses on a foreign war correspondent necessity — the shady local who takes you to the hot spots, translates, and generally greases the wheels.
		Sacco's fixer is Neven, who he meets in a hotel lobby in 1995.
		By the end, "The Fixer" becomes as much about the haziness and relative importance of the truth as about the history of the Sarajevo siege.

		In war zones and trouble spots throughout the world, fixers are the oil that lubricates the machinery of international journalism.
		Sacco's fixer was Neven, a Bosnian Serb who loves his city and fought in one of the many ad hoc brigades that were assembled by charismatic men in the early days of the war before a real Bosnian army was established.
		The fixer, a troubled ex-fighter scorned by his former comrades and spurned because of his ethnic background, is a terrific character, evocative of both the unresolved issues behind the Balkan wars as well as the marginalized citizens anywhere made exiles in their own land.

		"THE FIXER upholds the tradition of immediacy which gave the novel much of its importance and its vitality in the past, which is its chief claim to our attention in the present, and its strongest hope for the future." --National Book Award Citation --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
		Yakov's struggle is as much with himself as with the gnawing injustice of the state, with the ignorance in Kiev, and the wickedness of local officials eager to see him imprisoned, even knowing he is not guilty.
		The fixer has energy to think of Spinoza and the chain of causality--Great, but not of the ethic of "jews matter, the rest don't" or just Jews First as opposed to Kant's notion of equality perceived on an "a Priori" basis, not situational-- what's or who's it going to help or hurt.

		They must have human blood to survive and its ingestion gives them heightened senses and abilities, great endurance, and long lives -- but they are not immortal and slowly age.

		The Fixer is a GIMP 1.1 plug-in for neatening borders and transitions in images and for producing a number of interesting effects (such as the lightning styling in the logo above).
		This plug-in works by breaking a corpus image up into constituent 3x3 pixel blocks then trying to approximate some other image by fitting these blocks together, somewhat like a jigsaw puzzle.
