...February, however, an explosive book called Stalker was published. It was written by now retired Deputy Chief Constable John Stalker of the Greater Manchester police force, who was placed in charge of the R.U.C. probe in 1984 but dismissed two years later. In his book, Stalker implies that he was ousted for implicating senior R.U.C. officers, that he found evidence of a "police inclination, if not policy, to shoot suspects dead without warning, rather than arrest them," and that at least eleven policemen were involved in a conspiracy to pervert justice...
...good woman and an evil man. But this time Dan is the vulnerable one -- in De Palma's provocative term, a "feminized male" -- partly because of his position as head of the family. And his adversary is scarily strong, a masculinized female even in name -- Alex. She is the stalker, the demon, the sexual adventurer...
...artistic intransigence and the supposed obscurity of his themes nettled the bureaucracy that financed his films. The epic Andrei Rublev, completed in 1966, was not released in the U.S.S.R. until 1971; Solaris (1972), based on the Stanislaw Lem novel, suffered official censure; the lusciously enigmatic Mirror (1978) and Stalker (1979) sealed Tarkovsky's fate as a picturemaker on the way out.

The evil hordesmen cost $4.97 each and liberal portions of "Battle Bones" will set you back $8.97. If we conservatively define a horde as one thousand individuals, a small-scale conventional war would cost $5,450--there may be a manufacturer's rebate, I'm not sure...
...Night Stalker case, technicians in Sacramento were still loading records from the old system into the new when the suspect print was lifted from an automobile linked to the killer. At the urgent request of police, four NEC programmers worked all night to finish the job. The following day, after the fingerprint had been scanned and digitized, the computer compared it with 380,000 stored in its memory and spit out the names of the ten people whose prints most closely resembled it. At the top of the list, with a probability rating four times as high as that...
