...possessed by the spirit of her suicidal great-great-grandmother. Scottie follows Madeleine up and down the hills of San Francisco, a vertiginous setting where even the streets have lost their balance. At first he is the detective tracking his suspect; then he is an infatuated schoolboy duped by glamour; he could also be the moviegoer transfixed by the light on the screen, or a director turning an actress into a fantasy figure or a psychoanalyst falling in love with his patient-falling, always falling, into and out of a dream that keeps slipping beyond his reach.

The star performer on the N.Y.S.E. was APL, a once struggling paper-products manufacturer whose fortunes have improved under the direction of Financier Victor Posner. Hesston, a Kansas-based farm-equipment company that makes hay balers and backhoes, harvested healthy earnings from improved tractor sales. Rymer, a little-known company in suburban Chicago, went through a metamorphosis in 1983, going from the furniture business...
