When Robert Maxwell went over the side of his yacht off the Canary Islands, it was a death scene made to order for pulp publishing. He could have made millions with the tabloid rehash in his popular weeklies, the trash book and the movie and television rights. But without him to patch together such a deal, the ripples from his final fall threatened to sink some of the media empire he had built...
Totenberg's role in breaking the Anita Hill story has made her the target of Thomas sympathizers. Last week the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, whose parent company published the National Observer, ran a lengthy piece on the hearings, including a rehash of Totenberg's dismissal for plagiarism 20 years ago, as well as her charge that she was sexually harassed at the paper.

...with Madelyn Farley, a college friend who spends a night with the Gowers on her way back from a summer-theater job (she is a set designer) to her home in New York City. The bereaved daughter and her father, who periodically vanishes behind the "Black Curtain" of depression, rehash this brief visit incessantly, looking for clues to explain the calamity that has changed their lives. Margaret remembers Madelyn's saying, "Lovely is the art of pleasing others. Art is about pleasing yourself...
