...same time they are quite untactile. Bear down on the ha, the edge, and it will (to put it mildly) hurt you, being of surgical sharpness. Yet you hurt it. The skin of the steel can be ruined by the moisture and acids left by one fingerprint; breathe on it and it will begin to rust in 30 minutes. The blades conjure up tension between one's senses of sight and touch-threat and seduction, attraction and recoil. In the end, sight wins. The blades envelop themselves in august distances, and are wholly visual sculpture...
...evidence was fragmentary and scattered and painfully hard to gather, but slowly it accumulated-a red Volkswagen camper, a fingerprint discovered at a farmhouse in Pennsylvania, a post office box in San Francisco. Suddenly last week the bits fitted into a pattern. When they did, an FBI agent and a policeman climbed stealthily up the backstairs to the top-floor apartment of the modest house on the edge of San Francisco. They knocked, and the door swung open. Standing in the room was the thin, pale young woman. "Don't shoot," said Patty Hearst. "I'll go with...

"Short and Curlies" is an inexcusably lame song, whose main reason for inclusion would appear to be the phrase "She's got you by the balls." The Stones have felt obliged to stick a couple of dirty words on each of their last three records. By now, the irreverence of this habit is boring...
Bugliosi was not assigned to the case until mid-November 1969, but his troubles began the moment L.A. police arrived at the Tate residence. One officer unthinkingly obliterated a bloody fingerprint with his own. Physical evidence -broken pieces from the grip of a revolver, a pair of glasses-was scattered about as the parade of investigators swelled. Blood samples were gathered and tested haphazardly, leaving gaps in later reconstructions of the murders. During the LaBianca investigation the next day, a coroner's assistant failed to take the dimensions of the stab wounds...
