...reporter begins this book with the same dogged investigation that was so fruitful for the sentimental devotee of Leni. The facts are what he is after, he tells us, but he is confused. It all begins clearly enough; each chapter is so short as to contain just a few positive assertions of facts in the case, and it is established that Katharina Blum, at the beginning of these five days, slept with a man who was wanted for murder. Duly it is stated, too, that under police interrogation, Katherina shows herself to have been ignorant of her lover's legal...
...industrial accidents, few are messier than oil spills. Floating booms can contain surface oil and keep it from spreading while it is picked up and recovered by giant vacuum cleaners. Straw filters can be used to pick up oil that makes its way into shallow waters. But scientists have been trying for years to develop more effective methods of dealing with spills. Now one team seems to have succeeded. General Electric announced last week that scientists at its Schenectady, N.Y., laboratories have created a microbe that can eat petroleum in quantity...

They cover Ali from his middle teens to the present. They show him fighting, foaming, capering, preaching, blowing his mind at the press like a child blowing dandelion seeds. The pictures, at least, are a coherent record of an incoherent character, who has managed, for the moment, to scramble one of the country's most literate and sensible minds...
