...intimidated to keep quiet; her mission is to try scaring or seducing them into talking. Her first mark is the bartender. She sits at the bar silently for several nights and spooks him into first planning to push her off the el platform and then fatally rushing into traffic...
...Another man with visions: he can see death coming but is powerless to stop it. Vaudeville mindreader John Triton (Robinson, in the first of two haunted Woolrich roles) has presentiments of doom for a child playing with fire, a newsboy heading into traffic, his own fiancee, her eventual husband.

Not many in Taiwan fail to recognize that the U.S.?and its supply of military hardware?is all that stands between the island's freewheeling democracy and mainland rule. Until now, few U.S. Presidents have offered more support to Taiwan than Bush. In 2001 Bush said the U.S. would do "whatever it takes" to defend the island against a Chinese attack.
