...Medical School's teaching facility--this week denied suggestions that a West German company contracted to support molecular biology research at MGH would take advantage of public funds to make money. Martin S. Bander, head of news and public affairs at MGH, took issue with Rep. Albert Gore Jr. (D-Tenn.), who said that Hoechst A. G., the company, "contemplated the opportunity to leverage public investment at the hospital to its own interest."

Typical Hammett detectives, like the Continental op and Sam Spade, got their hands dirty but kept their minds alert. They often found that those who had hired them were criminal or corrupt; they prowled, lonely paladins of justice, through stark landscapes of betrayal and greed. Hammett's stories paid the rent. His novels, especially The Maltese Falcon (1930) and The Glass Key (1931), brought him an international reputation...
