...with event, a propagation of the notion that a novel trying to convey dullness must be dull. Sheer nightmare does not redeem a book any more than sheer polly-annaism. The Genet-Burroughs crowd, including such lesser sensationalists as John Rechy (City of Night) and Hubert Selby (Last Exit to Brooklyn), are not pornographers, if pornography is defined as arousing sexual excitement. These writers have created a pornography of nausea, which if anything has the opposite effect. They are thus the enemies of the hedonist almost more than the enemies of the moralist...
...doors of the blue bus hissed open and 120 members of the Leningrad-Kirov Ballet filed into the waiting room at Paris' Le Bourget Airport. Once they were inside, one of the troupe's two "bodyguards" grimly stationed himself at the main exit. As he did, a young, sullen-faced dancer in an ill-fitting grey suit drifted away from the group.

Should he try to return to South Africa, Nakasa faces trial and up to three years' imprisonment--all because of his journalistic success...
Beneath Naples lies a labyrinth of tunnels that mostly end in the port area. They were built centuries ago by nobles and monks who wanted a safe and secret exit in dangerous times. Some 1,000 "tunnel guides" today make their living leading thieves to the right spot at the right time. In 1962, a British freighter en route from Leghorn to West Africa with a cargo of textiles, rugs and Olivetti typewriters sank in a storm off Naples. Insurance company divers said the water was too deep for salvage. The company ordered new divers from West Germany and, meanwhile...
