...Mostly what he meets are Marion's many previous lovers, who keep turning up as they wander the grubbily photographed streets. At first that doesn't particularly bother Jack. His main interest is determining whether his and Marion's immune systems are a good match - something they can rely on over a relationship's long haul. But still, there's something pestiferous about those ubiquitous guys. And when Marion hysterically denounces one of them in a crowded restaurant, their bleak idyll comes to a crisis. It does not help that visiting Jim Morrison's grave in Pere Lachaise...

Matthew Symons, a spokesman for Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi, told the Globe that he wanted to bring Murphy back to Indiana. In a phone interview with The Crimson on Wednesday, Symons said that a decision had not yet been made about where to try Murphy...
