...miss, near-slapstick stories about one "Sam Slade," a private investigator who eventually sells out to the worldwide network of conspirators defending The Canon. (One of the conspirators is Porter University Professor Helen Vendler, who orders her bodyguard "Malloy" to throw an over-inquisitive Slade out of the New York Harvard Club.) Most, however, are serious essays--from the lucid "Integrating the American Mind" to the wandering "Trading on the Margin...
...killings in which Gravano admitted having a hand. "Sometimes I was the shooter," said Gravano. "Sometimes I was a backup guy. Sometimes I set the guy up. Sometimes I just talked about it."

One of the policemen, he continued, "suggested they finish us with a grenade." Just in time, uniformed police ordered the plainclothesmen to put their weapons on safety...
Though Jeffries did not know I was Jewish at the time of the interview, he did expect me to write a blanket endorsement for him because I am Black. Jeffries assaulted me and had his bodyguard steal from me when he figured out that wasn't the case. There have been numerous newspaper reports of Blacks being intimidated by his thugs at his school, CUNY. This man ought to be in jail, not at Harvard...
