Back then, many of the editors who read my drafts told me that the sex trafficking theme was unrealistic and that no one would buy into a story like that.
Though "Heroes" traffics in themes of global terrorism, its willingness to veer into the vacation land of "The OC" makes it a lot easier to watch than something like "24," which during its best seasons sustains an anxiety level so high that if you happened upon it while knitting you could stab a vein with a needle.
The whole idea is to drive traffic through the theme, so we thought, 'Why aren't we taking that concept and integrating it into the cannabis space?'".
"Traffic" evokes similar themes, but the emphasis is placed on action more than character; the problems are laid out explicitly rather than implicitly; the characterizations tend to be iconic, not subtle.
The show tracks the traffic of images, themes and ideas between Dalí's films, both realized and not, and his more static efforts, including paintings, drawings, letters, illustrated notes, scenarios and other ephemera.

My Sunday column returns to a regular theme — human trafficking — and recounts a raid on a brothel in northern Cambodia with one of my heroes, Somaly Mam.
This serves a similar function: it'll be a bar/cafe during the day, and in the evening you'll be able to watch films and performances on city themes, while traffic rumbles overhead, the Olympic building site bustles nearby and barges chug past on the canal.
Understanding how the sequential activation of Rab GTPases is achieved during vesicle trafficking is a central theme of cell biology.
Today, while most of my fiction and nonfiction have been published in places unallied with horror, almost all of my stories, essays, and novels have trafficked in horrific themes.
