...cost of these memberships, but for the exceptionally wealthy it's spare change. "What are people going to do with their money?" asks Bill Fischer, founder of Fischer Travel in New York City (the agency is so select that its telephone number is available only by word of mouth). "They have the houses, they've got the fancy cars and drivers. The next things are luxury and privacy--and they're willing to pay for them." --BY MELISSA CERIA
...Nizam Peerwani, Chief Medical Officer of Tarrant County, Texas, and a veteran of U.N. missions to Rwanda and Bosnia, has seen the tape and thinks the girl was disembowelled. Close by is the body of a girl that Va Char says is Chao, with insects buzzing around a mouth wound. Va Char claims she was stabbed. Also in the circle is a dead boy.

His language crackles with texture and bite: "Faith, the least exclusive club on Earth, has the craftiest doorman" and "[the] sequined gaggle of mantled goslings streamed past me." Mitchell, with typical impenitence, even invents a whole new dialect ("A yarnin' is more delish with broke-de-mouth grinds") for a race in the future. The propulsive zing of his sentences and the unexpected U-turn of his narrative give added fuel to his repeated suggestion that time moves like a concertina, not an arrow...
