ALAN HEIMERT is everything he is incidentally, in his spare time and a bit against his better judgment. At thirty-nine he can't quite decide what to make of himself. He dresses like a careless football coach and lives in a palace of oiled woods and lush fabrics; his mostly Hungarian sheep dog refuses to ride in the 1961 Studebaker he drives and Heimert refuses to trade the car in for anything but a Mercedes 300SL. He is Professor Heimert, Master of Eliot House Heimert, the Undergraduates' Advocate Heimert--a creature of the university, but not wholly or solely...
...inkhululeko (independence) during the long wait. Swaziland has tripled its exports (to $58 million) in the past four years by completing a new, 140-mile railroad and by attracting such faraway customers as Japan, a major buyer of the kingdom's abundant iron ore. Beneath Swaziland's lush valleys and mountains are also gold, coal and asbestos. Cattle herds dot the sloping grassland, and citrus orchards and sugarcane fields flourish.

When one of the Catholic priests visits he is immediately surrounded by haggard faces begging for medicine, food, anything.

...final breakdown of the worlds comes in a violently sensual display of color. Audran, coming out into the open, crosses the barriers Chris has established between his lives, destroying forever his success as a hidden prime mover. The lush blues we identify with Christine and, we realize in retrospect, with the dead Paola, are disrupted by Audran's red dress, then by the blackness of the stocking with which Christine and the other girls are strangled. The violence of the deed is muted by the awesome lushness of the images, textures of decor which make murder a forbidden ritual...
