Billed as the "world's largest motel," the 20-story Motor Inn sits improbably among tatty warehouses beside the piers where the transatlantic liners dock, and offers its customers, along with free parking, a spectacular view of the Hudson. Judging from the first curious-tourist turnout, business should be good. But far from taking this as encouragement to go on to even bigger things. Sheraton President Ernest Henderson...

In Britain, the reaction was: "Get me on one of those things? Not bloody likely...
...root of everything on earth," he tells the priest. "You are me and I am you." The remark might be an admission of equal incomprehension-both parts are played by the same actor. In the end, the priest axes to death two grooms at a neighboring inn, somehow taking upon himself, through cruel and pointless murder, all the demons that have possessed Mother Joan and her nuns...
