...victim of heavy shelling. For photographers working in the rubble of failed diplomacy, the most decent impulse is to use the camera as a branding iron -- the right pictures are blunt, scorching and indelible. That they can also look raw and haphazard is merely proof that style can echo the facts. The coherent images of classic photojournalism carry an implied message, namely that life is cogent even in the midst of catastrophe; that while events may be terrible, the human dilemma holds a familiar shape. The atrocities of Lebanon can shake that faith. In a place like Beirut, throwing aside...

What they used to hear was a single voice lifting the words from the page, and many novels and short stories are still recorded plain, unadorned by music or echo chambers. But the tape of Stephen King's The Mist is enhanced by what Simon & Schuster calls 3-D sound: voices are accompanied by rustling leaves, slithering tentacles, the flapping of prehistoric winds and the crawling of spiders as they descend on a small New England town. The latest Warner tapes are described by Deutsch as a "new version of old-time radio," complete with scores and sounds. Chaim Potok...
