Thus for Dr. Malcolm Gilman, chief medical examiner of New Jersey's Monmouth County, where Carmela formerly lived, began seven months of painstaking detective work. Gilman imported six rabbits to his farm, injected them with lethal doses of succinylcholine chloride, buried them (one with embalming fluid), and a month later disinterred the bodies. Sure enough, he reported, autopsies revealed telltale traces of the drug's components, though not of the compound itself. As a result, Gilman had Carmela's body exhumed and a four-month analysis performed on vital organs. Said Gilman: "What we found was enough...
...private capitalism, as Soviet Russia has demonstrated, but it can scarcely succeed without many Western attitudes. Modern industry requires a measure of individual initiative, self-reliance, risk-taking. It requires a belief in progress, in the reality of the material world.

Nine of these have now been issued in fluid, faultless English translation. In Onnagata, a dedicated Kabuki actor who plays only feminine roles lives his onstage art offstage as well, falls in love with a nasty new-wave director. In Patriotism, a dis graced lieutenant and his wife rapturously relax in a last voluptuous night together-and discover that after such pleasures, hara-kiri hurts even harder...
