Back in Seattle, the investigation was getting bogged down by the sheer number of bodies. Corpses were being found in a wide arc around SeaTac Airport by kids on bikes, a man walking his dog, mushroom collectors, soldiers on exercises. "Every time you found a body it was like being hit on the head with a baseball bat," says Reichert. Often when the cops went to examine a body in the woods, they would come across the remains of several others nearby...
...though, the sheer volume of complaints is making church officials nervous, fearful that their defenses might be breached. In 1997 the Dallas diocese had to use insurance money, borrow $11.3 million and sell all its vacant property to pay a reduced judgment of $31 million following an initial $119.6 million award for sex-abuse victims of Father Rudolph Kos.

But as company president Wu Wei says, "Everyone has their own taste." Which, hopefully, explains the inflatable cow?a black-spotted Holstein?tucked in the corner. "The cow is ordered...
...right through them. (Up to exam 40. Then our lynx eyes droop, and grading habits relax. Try to get on the bottom of the pile.) Again, it is not that A.E.’s are vicious or ludicrous as such; but in quantity they become sheer madness. Or induce it. “The 20th century has never recovered from the effects of Marx and Freud.” (V.G.); “But whether or not this is a good thing or a bad thing is difficult to say.” (A.E.) Now one such might...
