...Volkswagen was seen near the site of last week's attack No. 8. Yet more than 25,000 yellow Volkswagens are registered in New York State, and police have little confidence that state computers can narrow the number of owners who also roughly fit the killer's age range and physical description. The job of tracing ownership of the 28,000 Bulldog revolvers made by Charter Arms Corp. of Stratford, Conn., over the past five years is similarly hopeless; at least 600 were reported stolen before reaching retail outlets, and police estimate at least half of the rest...
Usually Hickman finds little cause for humor. Along Selma Avenue and Sunset Boulevard, male and female teenagers, many of them runaways, line up under the guise of hitchhiking. Grandfatherly "chicken hawks," men in their 50s and 60s, haggle with "chickens," teen-age boy hustlers, through the windows of Cadillacs. Blonde prostitutes boast of earning $600 a night from Mexicans who have illegally sneaked across the border and pay premium prices for a fair gringa. Brunettes and blacks can at best count on around $300 a night...
Piepkorn suddenly died of a heart attack in 1973 at age 66, leaving behind 2,900 pages of manuscript and a file-crammed study. His friend, Concordia President John Tietjen, undertook to edit the project for publication. Soon Tietjen was ousted in the Missouri Synod's ongoing doctrinal war, and only three years later is the first of a projected seven Piepkorn volumes reaching print. The initial installment of Profiles in Belief: The Religious Bodies of the United States and Canada (Harper & Row; 324 pages; $15.95) covers Roman Catholicism, 48 Eastern churches, and 18 groups related...
Saville's own case is not so simple. His cage is unlocked, but it is clear that even if he chooses to venture outside he will drag the thing behind him forever. Circumstances have left him maimed; a radiant older brother died of pneumonia at the age of six in the year in which Saville was born, and his parents' grief made their reactions to the new baby guarded and distant. In the life of the mind, Saville lives a surrogate boyhood. For him, as for the surrounding villagers, maturity is impossible, and hope is a kind...
After his conversion to Catholicism at the age of 25, Rolfe nourished a grand obsession: to become a Roman Catholic priest. But he was expelled from two seminaries, one in Britain, one in Rome, where he continued to paint and photograph, cavalierly charging materials to the bishops who sponsored him. His superiors may have detected an even more distressing strain. Rolfe was in the habit of employing pen, camera and oils to attract young men. The results could be artful sublimations-poems or paintings exalting saintly martyrs. But when he was candid, as in his "Ballade of Boys Bathing" ("Wondrous...
