Indeed, watching movies on cassette has become, if not an entirely new form of entertainment experience, at least an interesting hybrid. Like a TV show, a movie cassette must compete with household distractions: dinner, phone calls, children running through the den. Like a book, it can be picked up and put down at will, the good parts repeated--or given up entirely if boredom sets in. George Baxt, a New York City mystery writer who rents up to five movies a day, is typical of the new breed of freewheeling video experimenters. "If it's lousy," he says, "I just...
...pickings get slimmer. The Square may be great for lunch, but if it's a nice dinner (with the 'rents or other relatives paying) you may want to venture into Beantown. However, there are a few places in the Square worth trying for a good dinner. At Grendel's Den (39 Winthrop St.), you'll find a reasonably priced, cheery place that serves up the requisite salad, quiche and burgers as well as some heavier meals, including some Middle Eastern specialties. Next door to Grendel's is the relative newcomer Latacarta, which specializes in pasta and other light nouvelle cuisine...
...Then, during lunch, a double rainbow appeared outside our window. It was very magical, and then I threw up. That was the first time I realized I was with child." As a memento of their visit, Spielberg bought a Monet, which hangs on their living room wall. In the den is the original Rosebud sled used in Citizen Kane.

But he promises a change. "Until...
...ready to close the lid on the case of the Angel of Death forever. "When you imagine how Mengele himself would organize his own death," suggested West German Mengele-Hunter Katz, "this is the way he would do it. I can imagine him, a lone wolf sitting in his den and laughing at how the whole world believes it." However fanciful, the point was well taken. Even a positive identification of the Embu bones and a categorical verification of Mengele's presence in Brazil would not resolve all the uncertainties. Nor would the laying to rest of the body bury...
...extraordinarily successful novel about failure, about the emptiness that remains in the scholarly grasp of anyone who tries to completely recapture the past. At one point, Braithwaite says in an aside: "I know this. Sometimes the past may be a greased pig; sometimes a bear in its den; and sometimes merely the flash of a parrot, two mocking eyes that spark at you from the forest." Braithwaite's--and the novel's--wisdom lies in his realization that the overgrown byways of literary history may not lead anywhere in particular, but the stroll itself yields immeasurable self-understanding. He does...
