...oversee 200 deputy sheriffs, 70 California highway patrol officers and 200 FBI agents. He has ordered work shifts extended to twelve hours a day, introduced a 229-member squad specially trained to disperse rapidly and arrest violent demonstrators, and overseen the planning for every contingency from tipsy delegates to terrorist attacks. Says Murphy, whose headquarters will be at the police command post across the street from Moscone Center: "We foresee traffic as being our biggest problem. But no matter what happens, we are prepared to deal with...
...wife Effie because she was not merely unfaithful (he now has custody of her child Clara by a lover); she was also a kleptomaniac specializing in chocolate. Since then her crimes have escalated. She is now a member of the Front for the Liberation of Europe, a violent terrorist gang. The ingenuous Harvey is abruptly surrounded by lawyers and well-wishers who compound his confusion and television reporters who increase his distress.

...what does it matter? (Nor is this the first time Jackson has pressed the cycle image into dubious service. Remember his "cycle of pain" in Lebanon, as if Navy Lieut. Robert Goodman, the flyer for the American peace-keeping force that had lost more than 250 men to terrorist attack, and President Hafez Assad, who had at least acquiesced in that attack, were equal partners in crime?) Having framed the issue in these terms, Jackson proceeded to the logical conclusion: he proposed a meeting between Farrakhan and the reporter, offering himself as mediator...
