Greene's first published novel, The Man Within (1929), enjoyed a modest success and was made into a film. This pattern was to be repeated throughout his career, for Greene and the movies virtually grew up together. He learned the economies of filmed narration -- the quick cuts, the disembodied perspective, the interpolated conversations -- used them in his books and then saw them re-employed in adaptations of his own work on the screen...
...pattern? It's as genuine as Grandma's quilt. After a 10-year bender of gaudy dreams and godless consumerism, Americans are starting to trade down. They want to reduce their attachments to status symbols, fast-track careers and great expectations of Having It All. Upscale is out; downscale is in. Yuppies are an ancient civilization.

The report raised questions about whether some crucial experiments were ever performed at all. Faced with the evidence, Baltimore has finally moved to distance himself from the work done by Imanishi-Kari. In a statement issued from Rockefeller University, where he is now president, he acknowledged that "very serious questions" had been raised, and for the first time asked that...
