...bribes a guard to let her visit Sergei during the long march to Siberia. Her erstwhile lover, however, blames her for his predicament and already has eyes for another female prisoner. This is too much for Katerina, who pushes the other woman off a bridge into a swiftly moving stream and then leaps in herself. Lady Macbeth ends with a desolate chorus of convicts bemoaning their fate as they trudge wearily into Siberian oblivion-an effect that in its peculiarly Russian desolation recalls the Kromy forest scene at the end of Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov...
...bulk of the action takes place inside Rabbit's mind, a locale that has become increasingly entertaining. Updike has mastered a supple stream of consciousness that perfectly conveys Rabbit's darting curiosity. This former high school jock may lack all but the rudiments of an education, but he is one of those, in line with Henry James' advice, on whom nothing is lost.

The rain forest illustrates the variety of environments dependent on water, and contains tall, exotic Amazonian trees, vines, shrubs, a waterfall, a stream and leafy ground cover, as well as lizards, snakes and frogs. From the visitors' platform one can take in the full glory of a complete ecosystem almost ten stories above the Inner Harbor, and at the same time view the vista of a redeveloped Baltimore embracing the horizon...
...steady stream of worshipful Iranian supporters line up to receive instructions from Banisadr. At a dining-room table, a dozen young Iranian students work on mimeographed communiqués. Husky bodyguards carefully screen all visitors. The former President is seated on a couch before a big mahogany coffee table. Above his head hangs a campaign poster of himself. He now has neither the mustache nor the glasses that appear in the picture. Relaxed in shirtsleeves, his shoes off, he appears slightly pudgy and tired, but good-humored and confident...
