Quiet defiance. Like father, like daughter. Self-possessed, imperturbable, smoothly articulate, Wattleton is often hard to read. But not to Trish Arredondo, the director of an Indiana Planned Parenthood affiliate. One day, after a speech at a fund raiser in Munster, Ind., Wattleton stretched out her legs in the back of a white limousine cruising along Route 20 toward Chicago. Arredondo reached for Wattleton's note pad and stared at it intently. Arredondo is a family-planning specialist by training, a graphologist by avocation. Without taking her eyes off Wattleton's handwriting, she began to speak. You're idealistic...
They had better get those historic stocking stuffers out fast if they want to corner the market. William Bell, 22, a Munster, Ind., car salesman, and his uncle, Paul Wells, 37, a painting contractor from suburban Washington, have set up an import company to send out what they, too, say are nuggets of the famous barricade. According to Wells, Bell was in Berlin last week "chipping away."

...after the conquest of Poland, but the plan was delayed first by objections from the German generals, then by bad weather, then by a bizarre twist of fortune. A Luftwaffe major who carried a set of the invasion plans in his briefcase was sitting in an officers club in Munster and bemoaning the long train trip to a planning conference in Cologne the next day; another major, who was getting too old for active duty, offered to fly him there so that he could log some more cockpit time for himself. The two set off in a new Messerschmitt scout...
...settings, from Ardmor Castle to the local pub, are natural and unforced; the language of his characters hints at hidden poetry without breaking into showy lyricism or stage Irish: "Beyond the streaky window, the land opened out before us -- the wide, green fields of the midlands, the hills of Munster, a flashing glimpse of ruined keep, a manor house half hidden by plantation, the battered, roofless nave of a lost friary or monastery...
