Under the Saw. New Jersey's Palisades Park has installed an outsized, 100-ft.-high Ferris wheel which jazzes up the ride with horizontally revolving seats. Nearby is The Monster-an "octopus" crossed with Lord-knows-what by some madman, and just the ticket to produce four-way stomach upset. Six Flags, near Dallas, has the Aserradero (Spanish for sawmill), with a water flume ride that puts four passengers into a hollow log, runs them under a circular saw, shoots them along a rapids, finally abandons them to the simple trauma of a steep downhill sluicing...

She goes so far as to charge the Resistance leaders with sharing Hitler's aims, since they referred to him as a "swindler" and a "madman," but never as a "murderer." This seems a smug academic distinction in view of the fact that no people were tortured more horribly by the Gestapo than Germans who opposed Hitler...
...book are little better than Peredonov himself; the only ones who seem radiantly immaculate are the lovers. Clearly, in Sologub's world, this cannot last. Peredonov viciously denounces the pair as depraved, but when he kills a man. his charges against them are branded the lies of a madman. No matter; the damage has been done. In a monstrous irony, Sologub makes it clear that the lovers, not by their love but by the lying and deceit they used to protect themselves from Peredonov's slanders, have been permanently tarnished...
