What is this emporium? It is Bloomingdale's, the flashy department store on Manhattan's East Side. Now, as Christmas approaches, more than 300,000 shoppers weekly?some 60,000 on Saturday alone???surge through the store's eleven floors. While ogling the merchandise, they also eye each other. For Bloomingdale's is both a neighborhood center and celebrity hangout, a place where the next person a shopper bumps into (literally) may be either an acquaintance or someone familiar from a thousand newspaper photographs...

Yet many if not most Americans seemed to feel that the attack was legally and morally justified. The Atlanta Constitution, in a singularly savage editorial, suggested execution of "the animals of Attica...
Calley has no history of anything more violent than waterskiing. He still does not own a gun or even keep a fishing rod around the house. Gregarious and social?during the trial he never liked to be alone???he is a partygoer, a host; in restaurants he is always the one to stand up and welcome latecomers, making sure that the waiters notice their arrival. But it is at home, an apartment on Arrowhead Road in Fort Benning, that Calley most enjoys himself...
