Marcia Chapman's hand seemed to be waving in the river's current when Detective David Reichert first saw her partly clothed body on that Sunday afternoon, Aug. 15, 1982. It was a gruesome welcome to what would turn out to be the most harrowing case of the Seattle cop's career. In the water, beside the body of 31-year-old Chapman, was another body, that of 17-year-old Cynthia Hinds. She was naked, and like Chapman, she had been strangled. An hour earlier, Reichert had been coming home from church with his wife Julie and three small...
WHILE FILMING UNION MAIDS, a documentary on labor struggles in the 1930s. Julia Riechert and James Klein unearthed questions about the Communist Party in America that they felt compelled to answer. Reichert and Klein began to chip away at the wall built during the McCarthy era which segregated, or some would say protected, American society from communists. They did not find what they expected--malicious communist spies in long trench coats, or "Rats," as they were described by Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon. But they did find Americans they could emulate. With archival films and the clippings of more than...

Seed sellers will not suffer as much as other suppliers. Reason: farmers will be buying groundcover seeds to prevent erosion on acreage set aside under PIK. Some such seeds are already in short supply. Says Bob Reichert, a spokesman for DeKalb-Pfizer Genetics, a major seed producer: "Corn, soybean and sorghum seeds will suffer, but our Sudax, a sorghum sudan grass seed, is almost sold out, and our nitrogen-fixing alfalfa blends are in good demand. That eases the impact...
Union City, made for $500,000 by Mark Reichert, 32, has been called the first punk-rock film noir. At first glance, the phrase fits. Deborah Harry, making her dramatic-film debut, is the blond of Blondie; Chris Stein, who composed the sepulchrally melodious score, is Blondie's lead guitarist; Pat Benatar, in a featured role, has an album of her own. And Union City is faithful to the tones and undertones of film noir, that postwar style of moviemaking that transposed Raymond Chandler's mean-streets prose and James M. Cain's haunted losers to celluloid...
