...front seat of the packed 14-passenger van as it sets out with its cargo of broken hearts across the frozen streams of New Jersey and the ghostly, moonlit fields of Pennsylvania snow country. She is going to see a son who did 14 years for a horrific sexual assault, was freed in 1994, then committed a string of crimes even more ghastly...
...company also makes it easy to send anonymous, untraceable e-mail through a program called Mixmaster. (Whistle blowers against government or corporate abuses, for instance, like this as do people who want to discuss sexual abuse.) It encrypts your mail, chunks it up and sends it out through a chain of "remailers"--computers that forward mail to other computers, making it impossible to intercept and trace back. Note, though, that you can't receive replies. By summer, Cottrell hopes to improve the service with something called a Nym (for pseudonym) Server that allows you to maintain untraceable...
Take one fictional Ozzie-and-Harriet-like Irish-Catholic couple and their three teenagers. Put them through the crucible of the sexual and drug revolutions, the civil rights movement, Vietnam, women's lib, Watts and Woodstock.

Jones made her name in the 1970s with brutal tales of sexual abuse and violence. So when she came forth with last year's The Healing, a quiet, sweetly engaging novel that took a National Book Award nomination, readers found themselves surprised as much as delighted.

Mosquito is a carnival of digression and free association, though, with the plot hijacked for paragraphs, if not pages, by muddled tangents. Questions of racial identity provide an interesting subtext...
...solemn hagiography. But Akagi boasts the loopy zest and daringly shifty tones of Preston Sturges' medical comedy-drama, The Great Moment. Akagi is aided by a morphine-addict doctor and a semi-reformed whore (smart, sensuous Kumiko Aso). This movie has it all: whales, A-bombs and some prime sexual kink. Forty years into directing, Imamura says this may be his last movie. If so, it's a nifty...
