...artist J. Backderf, who signs his work "Derf," has released two outstanding examples of the latter. "Trashed" (Slave Labor Graphics; 48pp.; $6.95) recounts his days as a college-drop-out garbage man. "My Friend Dahmer" (Derfcity Comics; 24pp.; $2.95) tells of Backderf's remarkable high-school relationship with notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. The funniest book of the year so far, followed by the creepiest, and it's all true...
...Life in Advertising" (Knopf; May 12): "A beguiling look inside 30 years of the zippy, fast-moving culture, done with the kind of witty, charming self-deprecation often seen in the ads she created.

The improbable reason? The killer is his younger brother, and to prove it, he is going to explain how the current situation came about. So, we flash back to 1979, back to Fenton’s childhood where we see that...
...parish. Treat the priest with confession, time out at a discreet rehab center and Christian forgiveness; then let him resume duties at a new parish, the same way they dealt with whisky priests' alcoholism. For years the bishops believed, or made themselves believe, pedophilia could be "cured," until the serial molestations and multiple victims and repeat offenders proved it wasn't so. Only the most recalcitrant recidivists were eventually "laicized"--forced to give up their priestly vocation--long after they had done their worst. And if a victim finally sued, the strategy was to admit nothing, buy silence, settle...
