...Disciples of Hell" and "John Wheaties, Rapist and Suffocator of Young Girls." When finally captured last August, Berkowitz explained that he received orders to kill via a black Labrador retriever. The messages actually came, he explained, from a 6,000-year-old demon reincarnated as Berkowitz's next-door neighbor, Sam Carr. He even may have been, in addition to his killings, a mass arsonist. Introduced in evidence at the hearing were the murderer's diaries listing 1,400 fires, most set in The Bronx between 1974 and his capture in 1977. While it was not established that...

Which to dread more: stepping out into that dingy hallway and facing that bleak linoleum runway, or stepping out into that hallway and coming face to face with this year's Cover Girl, fresh from...
From then on toward midnight, he tries, in his own words, "to prioritize." Prioritizing takes him into the Oval Office to talk each day with the President and to drop in on his next-door neighbor Vice President Mondale. Ham and Fritz have meshed in a manner rare in White House history; each savors the guts of things rather than the trappings...
