Copies of the computer- enhanced likeness were immediately transmitted around the world by wire services. Said Stockholm Police Commissioner Hans Holmer: "This is the first witness who has given us a face...

It should borrow widely and set forth an impressive parade of authoritative objects, with special attention paid to the decorative arts.
