...fullest intensity of sorrow, his ramble through dilapidation seems to stray upwards until brought to a halt before the wire fences of the concentration camps listed in the song. But as the wandering glance draws closer to this stronghold of destruction, the barracks and chimneys behind the mesh fail to materialize. We are still in the garden, and inside the wire fence stretches the empty expanse of the deserted tenniscourts. Giorgio's father had earlier labelled the garden for the ghetto it was, but its jungle-like desolation now excludes all habitation except by the memories of those De Sica...
Inventories are not expected to hit exuberant levels for some time because of lingering caution. Beyond that, computers have helped corporations more finely to mesh their purchases of supplies with their production needs.

As a red headed state policeman negotiated the lock, the young woman looked back at the bed where Malik Hakim, torn tendons in both his legs, lay. Hakim touched his dark, long-fingered hands together, and inclined his head towards them and her with an air of silent benevolence...
...concessions-might not be in time to reverse the upward spiral of violence. "No night passes without sporadic bombings and snipings, no day without bomb scares," TIME Correspondent Curtis Prendergast reported from Belfast last week. "On downtown streets there are almost as many armored cars as city buses. Steel mesh is going up over more and more shop windows...
