...doddering British commanders fatally underestimate the Japanese advance. Rubber barons regard war as "only a passing phase in business life." The womenfolk while away blackouts at movies like The Lady from Cheyenne and cavort at the beach as bombs fall across the bay. In the end, Singapore is a hallucinatory panorama of burning buildings, crossed telephone lines and panicky scrambles to get aboard any departing boat. It is a rich and poignant chronicle, and Farrell has researched it down to the last palm-oil statistic. If only he had been content to write history instead of fiction. For the book...

They end dumping their pile of costumes on the head of Sally Lewiecki, who throughout lies inertly on a black coffin-like box, showing us only her chalk-white face and her hands gesturing like non-human flesh...
...whose newspapers cavort through the private lives of others, Murdoch is fiercely protective of his own. He rarely grants interviews or allows photographers to snap pictures of his four children: a daughter, Prudence, 18, from a first marriage and three children, Elisabeth, 8, Lachlan, 5, and James, 4, by his wife Anna, 32, a stunningly attractive, quick-witted former Sydney Daily Mirror reporter, whom he married in 1967. Six years ago, in London, Anna was the target of a kidnap attempt in which the wife of a Murdoch lieutenant was murdered. Murdoch did not stop his plebeian practice of taking...
