Late last week a magnetometer towed by the U.S.N.S. Silas Bent, a 285-ft.-long floating oceanographic laboratory, transmitted a suspect blip. But more than a score of wrecks litter the ocean floor off the Rat Islands; until a special camera synchronized to a high-powered strobe light can be lowered over the spot, the sea is guarding its secret...
According to Pike, the traditional authoritative sources for Christian doctrine are all suspect. The Bible, for example, is not only shot through with "superstition, sheer evil and flat contradiction," but did not even exist in its present form until several centuries after the founding of Christianity. The bishop similarly dismisses the infallibility of church councils on the ground, among others, that Christian denominations disagree violently on how many there really were; Roman Catholics accept 21 ecclesiastical synods as ecumenical councils, the Greek Orthodox only seven.

As the police pointed out, "Everyone who had access is a suspect." Marylou discovered the theft just before going out to a dinner in honor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, which is playing at this year's Saratoga Performing Arts Center, one of Sonny's pet projects. She went to get her jewel box, stashed away between blankets in the linen closet...
