Your article listing certain major cities in the U.S., along with composite crime rate statistics, indicated the data were from ''the FBI list of felony rates in U.S. cities." The FBI has not published any tabulation of crime rates for individual cities. The only thing we show in the Uniform Crime Reports bulletins, for the cities that you listed, is the total number of offenses of each individual classification reported by the police agency represented.

By page two, the narration switches to Gide's School of Sensitive Young Man Smelling Pressed Flower and Remembering Bath Tub Ring. There are three pages of Camus. And the rest of "The Bystander" slinks along in the ironic tradition of Colette and Francoise Sagan...
...quickly. A month ago Belle apparently started systematically looting the companies. As a sample of his thoroughness, he even tried to get the employees' pension funds of one of the companies, Troop Water Heater Co. Though the bank that held the funds in trust refused to go along, Belle got partial revenge. All but about $900 of the final week's paychecks for Troop, amounting to $4,500, bounced because Belle withdrew the funds before he fled...
