When a Navy consultant inadvertently left a confidential report at Bath Iron Works last May, officials of the Maine defense contractor could not resist the temptation to peek. Chairman William Haggett ordered up a photocopy of the report, which reviewed the cost of a rival firm's work on the Aegis guided- missile destroyer program. But after briefly scanning the report, Haggett decided he had made "an inappropriate business-ethics decision" and returned the document to the Navy, which launched an investigation...
Splendid, the reader thinks, wall building at its best. And as the bath water cools around the islands of his knees, he follows Wilkinson through nearly 100 pages of close observation of a small village called Angoon, burned in 1882 by the U.S. Navy in a bloody-minded show of force. The author does not argue that Tlingit culture before the coming of white men was noble (arguing is not his style), but clearly it was strong and coherent. Now in Angoon, after successive incursions by Russian fishermen, the Navy, Stateside Presbyterian missionaries of ineffable arrogance, and present-day loggers...
Last week police searched the grounds of the former Dahmer house in Bath, Ohio, for the remains of Steven Hicks, who may have been the murderer's first victim.

At 18, Jeffrey witnessed the bitter divorce of his parents and lived with his mother in Bath Township, Ohio. But one day, said Shari Dahmer, his mother disappeared with his younger brother, leaving Jeffrey with nothing. Often Dahmer attempted to sedate himself with alcohol. "He was a gentle person, but when he got drunk it would take four policemen to hold him down," said Shari Dahmer...
...point of fact, monuments and scenic spots all over Britain are under virtual siege, with 18 million visitors pouring in every year. In the Lake District the National Trust has spent more than $2 million repairing erosion of public footpaths. Residents of Bath have trouble reaching their shops on summer Saturdays because of tourists descending on the town to see the Royal Crescent and the Roman baths. In North Devon 370,000 visitors a year overwhelm the picturesque harbor of Clovelly (pop. 400). Sometimes they even wander into private homes...
