...hell breaks loose. In rapid order I hear from Mendiero Barrett, Dysson's V.P. of Pan-Pacific Integration ("Dysson is currently conducting a private inquiry into the suicide of Denny Reikert...") and from a recruiter who offers me, of all things, a job at Dysson and guides me to its Website www.dysson.com) which is written in creepy corporate prose and looks just as one would expect a "global telecommuting consortium" to look, complete with geeky employee photos and a client list that includes Time Warner, the parent company of this magazine. I hear from an anonymous employee...
...only a week on the surface of Mars, Pathfinder had conducted dozens of worthy science experiments, had begun to challenge at least one long-held perception about the red planet and had transmitted more than 1,700 photos of the landscape, many of which were incorporated into a "monster pan," a spectacular 360[degrees], three-dimensional, horizon-to-horizon mosaic image that, when viewed through 3-D glasses, is almost as good as being there. The mission had also achieved a historic first on Mars: a motor-vehicle accident...

"We'll make money with a high-quality product at an affordable cost," Shugrue says. Pan Am's promise is cheaper fares without the cramped seats and the bag of peanuts masquerading as in-flight service. Says he: "It's not rocket science...
...most twisted softcore adult movies of them all," later concocted the fake snuff film, Snuff. They specialized in bizarre ways of killing off sexy women (crossbow, electrified earrings, dildo switchblades). Exploitation? Or prophecy? Michael was decapitated in 1977 by the blade of a helicopter crashing atop Manhattan's Pan Am Building...
