Pentabonn. As a result, government ministries are strung miles apart in makeshift, inadequate buildings that range from a pre-empted hotel, where each office has a private bath, to a converted Wehrmacht barracks. Embassies are scattered from Cologne, 18 miles north of Bonn, to Rolandseck, ten miles south in the neighboring state of Rhineland Palatinate, where the Russians have taken over an old resort hotel. Chilean diplomats must work above the din of a five-and-dime store on the floor be low; the small, ugly British chancellery is smack in the middle of a cornfield, across the street from...

In this orgy of supermarket sadism, the blood looks like Brand X catchup, but there's plenty to splash around...
...other into a vein. Once or twice a week the patients go to the hospital, where the tubes are hooked up to the artificial kidney. Their blood flows through one of its chambers, and body poisons pass through a cellophane sheet into the second chamber's purifying bath ("dialysate"). The average treatment lasts twelve hours...
