...much for a prideful man. Last Dec. 7, some time after A Matter of Honor had been sent to the publisher--and been accepted--Izzi's body, wearing a bullet-proof vest, was found hanging outside the window of his 14th-floor office above Chicago's Loop. The rope slip-knotted around the corpse's neck passed back through the window, and was tied to the leg of a desk. On the floor was a loaded revolver.

...awkward--even offensive--episode involving a clown-cum-high-wire artist. Falling into the net after a failed flip, the performer feigned wetting his pants (note the recurring urine theme) and said, inexplicably, "I don't speak English." He then pretended to go hand himself on a nearby rope. Parents in the audience must have been horrified...
