...main characters, Lili (Sonia), Rene Brunel (Raskolnikov), Nicole Brunel (Dounia) and Inspecteur Gallet (Porfiry), act their way through the famous intellectual-kills-pawnbroker-and-suffers plot with a considerable degree of accomplishment.

...asset not lost on Asahi Shimbun, the Tokyo daily of 4,000,000 circulation, which also publishes Asahi Science Magazine. The three Tokyo printing companies already equipped to print recording on paper expect mass production to reduce the present 4½?-per-page cost to 2? or less. Main drawback: the stay-at-home subscriber must pay $417 for equipment that will buy him the dubious privilege of hearing his magazine or newspaper roar like a waterfall or merely go bongbong...
