...particularly offensive because it bespeaks the whalers' pleasure in defying international opinion. This summer a group of tourists who had gone to Norway to see and photograph the magnificent animals were horrified to see a whale harpooned before their eyes. That bloody scene was followed by the grisly sight of the butchering of a carcass on another ship. With its income from North Sea oil, Norway has no economic reason to support its contemptuous stance on whaling. It is tragic that whales must suffer to satisfy the chauvinistic urges of a fanatical special-interest group. Greta Frankel Stockholm...

Back at their apartment complex, she scribbled a note on a torn piece of notebook paper and placed it beneath a wiper of his white Toyota Corolla. It said, I WAS THINKING MAYBE YOU COULD COME BY SOME TIME TONIGHT...
...accept some of Andrea's secretiveness. "I know a few things about her," he says, "but I don't know a lot. I don't probe. I don't want to be nosy." He even respected her obsession about undressing and changing in a closet, out of his sight. She did not like confrontation and argument. He says he wanted her to speak up, but she didn't. She avoided conflicts with stints of silence that lasted days or weeks until he confronted her. "Throw a frying pan at me. Do anything!" Rusty says he told her. Nothing...
