Then for the first time since the emergency began seconds before, Miller was able to look out at the right wing. The end of the wing was engulfed in white fire that curled upward in a ghastly comber, spitting fragments of molten metal into the air. What Miller could not see, because his view was blocked by the inboard engine, was even more chilling. No. 4 engine had dropped off, ripping a hole in the wing skin and puncturing the wing tip tank, igniting its 70 gal. of kerosene. One-third of its 83-ft. right wing was gone. Aerodynamically...
...refusal was not quite as final as it seemed. Then, with no one else to talk peace to except Saigon and Washington, the mission came up with a new approach: why not meet directly with the Viet Cong? The notion certainly appealed to Laborite Wilson's troublesome left wing, but as a diplomatic stroke it was less than inspired. The Viet Cong is not a government, and does not even claim to be.

The day the first installment appeared Michanek received an anonymous letter suggesting that there was much more information to be had about St. Michael's. The mysterious tipster turned out to be a Swedish Jew, Goran Granquist, 25, who had wormed his way into the order and wanted to tell all. He proceeded to give the pair of reporters enough tantalizing leads to start them on a two-month...
...looks in one mirror, sees the tattoo in another, turns white. Staring back at him is "a flat, stern Byzantine Christ with all-demanding eyes." Under their gaze he feels "as transparent as the wing of a fly." Scared silly, he drinks himself into a stupor. But when his head clears, God is still on his back and dawn is breaking. "A tree of light burst over the skyline. He felt the light pouring through him, turning his spiderweb soul into a perfect arabesque of colors, a garden of trees and birds and beasts." In terror and wonder, he presents...
