...seventh blockbuster, Sidney Sheldon has a great time inventing grisly ways of killing his characters. A Rumanian rebel, Marin Groza, has himself beaten by prostitutes as penance for sitting by while his wife and daughter were fatally raped. But this time he is unaware that the whip has been dipped in curare. Harry Lantz, a sleazy womanizer, curls to death when someone adds an electric hair dryer to his bath water. And the head of another miscreant turns up in a Washington garbage dump. There are a few survivors, notably Professor Mary Ashley, "the opposite of the ugly American," plucked...

Last week the Marin Superior Court began hearing arguments on whether Buck's bucks can be spread more widely around the San Francisco Bay area. Plaintiffs include 28 social service agencies and the trust's own executor, the San Francisco Foundation, which has been criticized for funding such questionable projects as a bicycle path in well-heeled Tiburon. Opposing any change is the Marin council of service groups, which evidently wants charity not only to begin at home but stay there...
