...Communale, a dismissed Hudson County assistant prosecutor who was placed on the Dorn payroll at Provenzano's insistence. Communale testified that he received the money, even though he performed no legal services for Dorn. Tony, outwardly confident of acquittal, acted bored during most of the testimony, coddled his chin with a well-manicured hand, his little finger aglitter with a huge diamond. On the stand, Tony was so evasively garrulous that his own lawyer asked the judge: "Please make that man answer the questions. All he's doing now is prolonging this business." The jury ended...
...human anatomy but devised a complex series of mathematical formulas for each part of Buddha's body. In the case of life-size Buddhas, for example, they authorized so many finger-widths from hairline to eyebrows, so many more from brows to nose, so many from nose to chin. In some areas, Buddha's features were made to resemble some perfect form in nature. His head had to be a perfect oval like the egg, his eyes were to be curved like lotus petals, his lips to have the fullness of the mango. As Buddhism spread, every...
There he stands, and who can believe him? Black corduroy cap, green corduroy shirt, blue corduroy pants. Hard-lick guitar, whooping harmonica, skinny little voice.

She is the fresh-air fiend in sensible shoes who parries with her nose and charges with her chin. She likes to scrunch into wicker chairs and sniff sea air. She has average tastes, nonexotic pleasures. Every day at precisely 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.-right in the middle of a movie set, if that's where she happens to be-she has hot milk and buttered biscuits. She needs this sustenance as much as a lush needs booze...
...when Communist China built its biggest freighter, the 11,182-ton ship was christened-naturally-Yueh Chin, or the S.S. Leap Forward. With almost as much fanfare as when she was launched, the Leap Forward sailed from Tsingtao last week with the first cargo shipped from China to Japan since the two countries signed a recent trade agreement ending their five-year official boycott of each other's goods. Then, half way across the East China Sea one afternoon last week, the Leap Forward suddenly radioed for help. Four hours later, the pride of China's merchant fleet...
