They divorced not simply because of the legal grounds of adultery, but also because Carson found that Reeves ... has a hope of fulfilling her dreams, since she does mention saving enough money to buy a second-hand piano. But it doesn't quite seem good for Mick. Carson McCullers doesn't leave her stories completely devoid of hope, though. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter ends with Biff Brannon, who is the only one of Singer's friends who are optimistic about the future. He's also the only ... humanity through endless time . . . those who labor and . . . those who--one word--love." (McCullers, Heart, 497) This illustrates how frightening a possessive love is.

- 934: The Webb Story and the Efforts to Rebut It
- ... a subcommittee chaired by Senator John Kerry published a report documenting that the U.S. Government had contracted with known drug traffickers to supply the Contras.

Katz estimated that Ross’s "coast-to-coast conglomerate was selling more than 500,000 rocks a day." Other journalists, now forgotten in today’s furor over the Webb stories, have written how Ross personally created the crack scene in other cities such as Cincinnati. The unseen force that induced Katz to make this remarkable recantation has now reached Jerry Ceppos, Webb’s editor at ... it." That was Ceppos in 1996. In May 1997, sounding like one of Stalin’s victims in the show trials of the 1930s, Ceppos revised his tune even more dramatically than Jesse Katz. "We fell short of my standards," he wrote in the San Jose Mercury.

- ... is shot. She was a risk which Mundt didn’t want to take. Leamas then didn’t jump over the wall but jumped back to Liz and is shoot shortly after her. Leamas is a short man with close, iron-grey hair and the physique of a swimmer. He is very strong which one could see in the powerful back of his shoulders, in his neck and in his hands and ... forty-one, became deputy director of operations and Fiedler became head of counter intelligence. From then on the new style began and Leamas was loosing agents faster than he could recruit them. Fiedler, also a short man, is a Jew and therefore hated by Mundt. This of course causes aggressions from Fiedler as well and when checking Mundt’s files he gets suspicious and starts to become more careful with Mundt ... interests. Altogether I believe it is a very good book, at the beginning a little confusing but explanatory in the end (I thought), and it is a “must-read” for anyone who enjoys reading spy stories.

"What is it?" I said to him quietly. And then he told me. "Niles, you've heard the stories, the ones they always tell at Halloween -- about people who change into animals?"

The only person it's new to is you." He sat back down at the table where we had been talking just a short while ago. Nervously, I joined him. "What kind of creature are you, Lyle?" He smiled ruefully. "I was wondering when you'd ask." He said. "I'm not even a typical lycanthrope. I'm ...
