...elder Deak was shot when he stepped out of his office after hearing shots fired at the receptionist. According to a secretary hiding beneath a desk nearby, Lang muttered, "Now you've got yours." The woman was charged with two counts of second-degree murder...
Beyond such homely practicality lies a reawakened national concern for some faded educational verities, among them the close teacher-pupil contact that was much in evidence last week at Lennep. There, beneath pictures of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Carol Sevalstad, 33, glided through the mellow buzz of a dozen children in six grades. When Lee Cavender tripped over his second-grade arithmetic game on Lennep's computer, Sevalstad untangled him. Then she turned to a Lilliputian table where two first graders were hard at their reading. "I want to spend a lot of time on reading with the first...
...less fortunate. She stayed in her seat when the hijackers began searching for her, but they managed to identify her from her passport photo. With her hands tied, she was dragged to the open doorway, where she too was shot in the head and thrown onto the runway. Beneath the plane, the wounded Artzi crawled toward her friend's body, but one of the hijackers saw her and shot her in the hip. "They shot us as a sport," she said later, "as though they were shooting dogs." Mendelson never regained consciousness, and three days later was pronounced clinically dead...
Much of the evidence behind Petuch's hypothesis has been available to scientists for decades. As early as the 1940s, geologists noticed an extensive network of fractures that radiates outward in the layers of limestone beneath the Everglades like cracks around a bullet hole in a pane of shatterproof glass. Maps published by the Florida Bureau of Geology in 1974 show a pit-like dip in the area's underground geological contours. Magnetic readings in the Everglades suggest the presence of a subterranean mass of metallic ore that could conceivably be the remains of an asteroid. Finally, scientific journals have...
Author Iris Murdoch's devoted readers have learned, after 21 novels, to expect abstract, philosophic patterns beneath the beguiling surface of her fiction. The Good Apprentice, No. 22, seems designed to shake admirers out of such complacency. Murdoch includes most of her by now familiar clues to deeper meanings: constant references to God, lesser deities, the devil, good, evil, myths, legends, magic, and the power of elemental forces like water to nurture and destroy. But this time out, such allusions do not point toward an order underlying reality. They mirror instead a dazzling chaos of Murdoch's invention...
