...with the idea of two single gatefolds bound next to each other, and then I explained the concept by folding yellow-pad sheets." White House Photographer Dirck Halstead was charged with deploying 15 photographers for this week's centennial coverage. He arranged for locations with the Navy, Coast Guard and White House, plus the states of New York and New Jersey. The planning paid off. From the New Jersey side of the harbor, Ted Thai, who immigrated to the U.S. from Viet Nam in 1973, snapped the four-page fireworks vista on Friday night. Photographer Neil Leifer was on Governors...
...campaign forums, all of the candidates in the Eighth race, or at least all of the Democratic candidates, appear together. Hopeless hopefuls and serious challengers alike get equal dribbles of time in which to make prepared statements or answer a few predictable questions. Candidates are rarely caught off guard, and hence the most preposterous balloons of hot air are rarely pricked...
...into the exclusive Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry store, drew a revolver and announced a robbery. When police arrived almost immediately, the gunman took five people hostage. Protected by the store's bulletproof doors and windows, he killed two hostages: Saleswoman Ann Heilperin, 40, shot in the head, and Security Guard William Smith, 54, stabbed in the back.

His script calls for the President to light the statue on the night of July 3. On July 4, tall...
...Archer lives alone, as does Spenser, although Spenser keeps company with Susan Silverman, a compassionate shrink). He is also short of cash and careless about his clothing. He is a two-fisted drinker (even though James Crumley's Milo Milodragovitch goes for peppermint schnapps) and sometimes drops his guard long enough to reveal a flash of erudition (Marlowe has atrocious taste in socks but can quote Browning). Touches of class cater to the tough-guy fantasies of the literati. Albert Camus, whose spare existential novels were influenced by U.S. detective fiction, looked like Humphrey Bogart portraying Sam Spade. Hemingway followed...
