so the parallel is
F straying from the letter of the family tradition but in many ways
keeping the spirit
w/r/t picket lines but also loving the light, and doing work she loves
(fucking, finding out stuff, what's not to like?) for people she hates
- as her father also had to do...
(never crossing the picket line http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX46rPmXO4U )

and likewise DL running from the American martial tradition into the
Japanese martial tradition...finding her skills in demand from the Mob
as well as the counterculture; and finding a new career with Takeshi,
the specifics of which emerge stealthily as we go along...

okay, Yoda...even more incoherent than usual this passage is...
