...shocks than the hero of The Country Husband, perhaps the best story he has ever written. Things begin going wrong for Francis Weed when he survives a plane crash and goes home to find that neither his wife nor his children seem interested. In short order, Francis recognizes the maid at a neighbor's party as the same woman he had seen, years before, being shaved and stripped at a Normandy crossroads for collaborating with the Nazis. Rattled, Francis falls in love with the teen-age babysitter. Seeking psychiatric help, he is detained by police who think...
...director Lionel Von Rennselaeaer's lighthearted experiments in figure/ground confusion done on highly explosive nitrate stock, but the lead was played by a stolid burgher whose sword work looked something like Boog Powell trying to bunt. Flynn, the great rakehell, leaves no doubt that he knew how to rustle Maid Marian's bustle and no one could accuse his progeny of lacking cojones--witness Sean Flynn's disappearing into the Cambodian jungle with a moped, a Nikon in his quiver, a few cigarettes and a flawless jawline.

Mrs. Haley is one of millions of "contesters" who compete yearly for the more than $100 million worth of prizes offered by U.S. advertisers to promote their products. Most contestants, like her, are retirees who have come to the Sunbelt after years of hard work in cold towns of the North and Midwest. They stay in touch with one another through a network of contesters' groups and subscribe to bulletins like the monthly Contest News-Letter (circ. 50,000) to keep...
...burst of gunfire, then a Guard patrol, walkie-talkies crackling, passed by. The patrol had just come from the little five-room Hotel Soza, where they had burst in and raked the reception room with machine-gun fire. Four people, including the hotel owner's wife and a maid, were killed. Though none of them had been armed, the Guard later claimed the four were extremistas. To justify their killings, the Guard mounted a pathetic Exhibit A, consisting of Sandinista poems, a box of nails and Gerber baby-food jars (often used to make bombs), and several shotgun shells...
