Unlike a spaghetti western, The Sicilian has no one-on-one shootout under a hot sun. Instead, Don Croce and Guiliano are locked in an elaborate melodrama of betrayals within betrayals. Puzo too demonstrates sly moves. His florid descriptions and graphic action scenes guarantee bug-eyed attention while he plants a sardonic fatalism in the heart of his book. One of the rarest commodities in his Sicily is truth ("A source of power, a lever of control, why should anyone give it away?"), while revenge is one of the highest virtues ("On this Catholic island, statues of a weeping Jesus...
...everybody's list. The poster-size Sports Illustrated 's Swimsuit Calendar, featuring supermodels in torrid Caribbean settings, is third on Waldenbooks' list. Magnum, p.i. (Landmark) is fourth, offering pictures of Tom Selleck in fuzzy focus and crisp action. The second Ansel Adams Calendar (New York Graphic Society Books) has resonant prints of the master's favorites such as a Cape Cod barn and Yosemite Valley. They are enhanced by the latest laser-scanned printing techniques...

Follow this, now: a couple of swimming zygotes, plus a single bullet, a heart and a cross, all multiplied by a shadow figure grabbing a star equals - well, BANG...
...accusations multiplied until the sexual-abuse scandal in Jordan, Minn. (pop. 2,663), gripped the entire community. After a mother told police last year that her teen-age daughter had been abused by a neighbor, 24 adults were charged with molesting 37 children, including their own. The children provided graphic testimony, and James Rud, 26, a convicted child molester, described a perverted version of hide-and-seek in which, he said, the adults would search out the children and spend five or ten minutes sexually molesting each...
...exaggerated version of the brain's natural response to seasonal variations in sunlight. The treatment: placing her for two hours each day in front of a bank of fluorescent lights, which fool her brain's biological clock into thinking it is summer. The stories are sometimes uncomfortably graphic (a ten-year-old boy who suffers up to 60 epileptic seizures a day), but nearly always fascinating; The Brain is a distinguished addition to television's science library...
