...trial cost an estimated $15 million, including nearly $7 million for the heavily guarded fortress that was specially built in Stuttgart to hold the defendants and conduct their trial. The building-girded by high steel fences, roofed with bombproof metal mesh and patrolled by policemen and attack dogs -was just one example of judicial overkill. Because of flagrantly injudicious behavior by the main trial judge (who was removed in January) and highly questionable bugging of the defendants and their lawyers during the trial, the verdict is sure to be appealed to higher courts...
...this idea. Charlotte has lost her child, Marin, to history, and this event disrupts the complacency of her life. The newspaper accounts and pictures of Marin--this Patty Hearst-type revolutionary, who speaks over television and radio about the "fascist police" and the "class struggle"--in no way mesh with the sweet personality that Charlotte declares is Marin.

They played it on back-to-back nights before 5100 sardined maniacs who threw fruit, eggs, and even firecrackers at the padded warriors guarding the sacred mesh, recalls the transplanted New Yorker who learned the goalie craft playing street-roller-hockey in Central Park...

Taken from uninjured areas, in sheets as thin as 0.025 centimeters (0.010 inches), it is sometimes perforated and stretched, and then applied as a mesh over the burn. It thus can cover an area three to six times as large as that from which it was taken and acts as a scaffolding for growth of new skin...

Throughout The Acts Steinbeck searches for a voice in which to recount the stories; he finds several, none of which are adequate in themselves, no two of which mesh harmoniously on the page. The result is a composite and uneven piece of work, by turns news analysis, history, psychological explanation, novel, poetry and myth. Malory managed to weave these threads together, but Steinbeck hasn...
