...passed secrets to a Communist agent, an old school chum. But Magnus is not trying to escape; he is only buying time to write his story so that his family and friends will know the truth. In addition, Rickie Pym has just died, his corpse bobbing in a tub of ice water until funeral expenses can be scraped up. It is a grotesquely comic end for a man who built worthless paper empires and stood for Parliament while scandal swirled at his feet...

Outside, stars snapped in the clear sky, just...
...California, J-Paul Dumont knocked down the walls between his grown children's bedrooms in his Palo Alto home to set up a deluxe sweatshop complete with mirrored walls, sophisticated weight-lifting devices and a chrome rack that contains rows of dumb-bells. A whirlpool tub is in the bath next door. The $100,000 price tag also bought style: the entire suite is done in art deco.
