...Protestant majority ruling the six counties has lived ever since in exaggerated fear of a takeover by Eire, which is 96% Catholic. Even more feared than a takeover from without, however, is one from within-since the number of Ulster's Catholics is increasing faster than that of its Protestants. Through voting restrictions and gerrymandering, the Protestants have attempted to ensure that these gains in population will not lead to increased Catholic power at the polls. The result has been the growing bitterness and clashes of recent years, exacerbated on both sides by long Irish memories...
...murdering eight nurses (missing only Corazon Amurao, a Filipina), Romy assumed an accent and began phoning around town as the Philippine consul. For a follow-up story, Romy decided to dig up details of the accused man's marriage and troubled early life.

Rare is the graduate, he argues, "who knows how to ask questions - simple, single questions, one at a time, in order to develop facts in evidence either in interviewing a witness or examining him in a courtroom."
