...Eternity, no Dispatches. Most books on the subject are military histories, bristling with regimental acronyms that only a quartermaster could love. (William B. Hopkins' forthcoming eyewitness account of the Marines at Chosin, One Bugle No Drums, published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, N.C., neatly avoids this trap.) Knox's book does not entirely forswear such an approach. But for the most part, the story is told in the unadorned, often eloquent words of the American dogfaces and grunts who fought there. The painfully complete, troop-movement-by-troop-movement narrative chronicles the war from its beginning to the Marines...
...knife, sometimes a gun - casually wielded because the victim had looked askance at his killer (most victims are boys) or offered some other insignificant provocation. Last year 27 teenagers were murdered in London, many by other teenagers. This year's toll has already reached 20 and includes Robert Knox, an 18-year-old actor who plays a trainee wizard in the forthcoming Harry Potter movie, and who was reportedly killed defending his brother in a brawl over a stolen mobile phone. On July 1 hundreds of demonstrators marched through Islington, Hackney's neighboring borough, to protest the knifing outside...
...With no new images of Knox, media reports have focused in recent months on her travails inside Capanne jail. Corriere della Sera published excerpts last month of a leaked prison diary that the University of Washington student has reportedly been keeping. Knox remarks on her male admirers, laments life behind bars and sends off letters to her mother and the boyfriend she'd left behind in the U.S. Corriere also reported that she told police that she'd had sex with seven men since arriving in Italy earlier in 2007. Last week Knox was visited by her mother to celebrate...
...Though we haven't seen her in the flesh since her arrest, it is in many ways Knox's flesh that continues to drive steady interest, particularly from the Italian and British media. An abundance of old photographs have circulated from blogs and social-network pages of the auburn-haired Seattle native in a variety of settings, almost always flashing a girl-next-door smile. That Knox appears sweet adds an extra dose of sympathy for those convinced of her pleas of innocence, while making others ever more furiously convinced that she's hiding a dark side...
...Last month, the Sunday Times of London featured a cover story for the newspaper's magazine section about the case that included an extensive interview with Knox's family in Seattle. Titled "Free Foxy Knoxy," the story recounted the family's insistence that Amanda could never have been involved in such a heinous act and featured a new round of photographs from her teen years in Seattle. The correspondent for the British paper, John Follain, noted that Knox's younger sister Deanna looks strikingly similar to Amanda. Like her parents, the younger daughter was forthcoming with Follain about details...
