...given them, but He threw them away if their souls were still stained. He delivered them soiled but expected them back spotless." Even better than Doyle's epigrams, though, are his lengthy battle scenes, which are both chaotic and precise, capturing the fog of war as well as the warrior's uncanny clarity. Sneaking through the darkened countryside, holing up in safe houses and hedges, escaping on bicycle from spies and sentries, Henry grows from a rebel on a lark into a savvy I.R.A. assassin...
...will these two media chieftains get along? Karmazin, who went to CBS when his Infinity Broadcasting was acquired by that company in 1996, has been known to depose long-standing corporate kings, while Redstone has a scalp collection any corporate warrior would be proud to own.

Imagine standing in the predawn darkness on the rim of a cliff, 300 ft. above the desert floor. There are purply black mesas before and behind you. Exactly above the center of the largest one, you see Venus, the Morning Star, burning in a deep violet sky. Nothing moves. No wind, no sound, only bitter cold. As the light begins to glow on the eastern horizon, you see an immense desert plain, flat as water...
