...family moved again, to Berlin, where as the legal adviser to the U.S. mission, Richard got a longed-for chance to be part of history being made. And John got his first taste of another world.

And I sensed the foreboding unwelcomeness to it." One day he went so far as to ride his bike through Checkpoint Charlie and into East Berlin to look around and visit Hitler's bunker.

Iapetus, for example, is a two-toned world, its leading edge dark, its trailing edge white. There are many theories advanced for this--including the possibility that there are hemisphere-wide volcanoes or that the moon is picking up dust as it moves through its orbit, staining its face and leaving the other side clean.

In the process they also manage to diss art star Matthew Barney, with one of their werewolves sporting an i survived the creamster series T shirt. Will...
...Jacqueline Kennedy thought the book would wind up 'bound in black and put away in dark library shelves.' The publisher, Harper & Row, did not dream of a first printing of 600,000, or of 'the bestseller of the century,' as it is now freely described. Few foresaw that The Death of a President would become not only a publishing phenomenon but also an emotional battleground?a book about which other books will be written. When it finally reached the public last week?some stores put it on sale ten days before the release date?it seemed the work had been...
