For example, a reader can find John Irving's latest novel, A Prayer for Owen Meany, among the 15,000 or so titles typically carried by a chain store, but in all likelihood will not locate Irving's earlier books.

The widow of the slain coup leader Major Moises Giroldi called Olechea a turncoat. Some U.S. officials, however, suspect that Olechea switched sides because he did not get timely assurances that Giroldi and his troops had succeeded in capturing Noriega. He waited for more than two hours after he knew...
