Still, what happened to Paul Morantz is only the latest in a series of curious misfortunes that have befallen people who have challenged Synanon in court, in print or on the air. Among the other victims...
...moment too soon. As life and fine print grow more complicated, all those champions of the downtrodden, avengers of the defrauded and writers of wrongs find themselves very much in demand. Last year Action Line columns answered more than 2 million complaints. Action Lines unmask unscrupulous repairpersons, humble haughty bureaucrats, chasten heartless computers, stay the hands of overeager credit companies, track lost merchandise to the ends of the zip-coded universe and locate spare parts for Polish-built refrigerators.

At intervals, hardbound collections of some of Cheever's short fiction appeared, sold tastefully and then went out of print. A few pieces survived the drift toward transiency to which most stories are prone: The Enormous Radio became a standard inclusion in fiction anthologies; The Swimmer inspired an inadequate Hollywood film. The continued existence of other tales, though, came to depend chiefly on word of mouth or hearsay. Cheever...
