Though Joey claims he didn't do it, he is the kind of brat whose idea of fun is to practice tying hangman's knots. The lad returns home, alas, with one of his psychoses analyzed as "an inborn antipathy toward middle-aged females." Soon poor beleaguered Nanny has her hands full with the boy's bad manners and withering accusations-and worse. A doll lying face down in the bath water jolts certain members of the household...

The boy's tongue-tied despair is eloquent when he comes upon his married sister in a parked car arguing with a stranger. So is his quiet exultation when he accompanies his father to the wineshop where former friends awkwardly welcome him back...
...Armada. In July, he became the fourth matador in this century to be allowed to spare the life of his bull. In August, he became the first in history to fight 31 corridas in one month. And, barring illness or injury, by this time next month the mop-haired lad who calls himself "El Cordobés" will have killed more bulls and been awarded more of their ears in more fights before more people in one year than any other bullfighter who ever lived...
