    old friends the defense contractorsAs an army colonel once said to him, “It’s work now and get
    paid later,” and God knew that one Steven DeSole worked like hell for his country, but his country
    hardly reciprocated in kindHe hated the name Medusa, though, and rarely if ever used it because it
    was a symbol from another time, ominous and misleadingThe great oil companies and railroads
    sprang from the chicanery and the venality of the robber barons, but they were not now what they
    were thenMedusa may have been born in the corruption of a war-ravaged Saigon, its early funding
    may have been a result of it, but that Medusa no longer existed; it had been replaced by a dozen
    different names and companiesDeSole, no American-controlled international conglomerate is,” said his
    recruiter, “and it’s true that we seek what some might call unfair economic advantage based on
    privileged informationYou see, we have to because our competitors
    throughout Europe and the Far East consistently have itThe difference between them and us is that
    their governments support their efforts—ours doesn’tDeSole, trade and profits

    Yes, mused DeSole as the limousine came to a stop ten feet away from himWhat he did for the
    “corporation,” which he preferred to call it, as opposed to what he did for the Company, might even
    be considered benevolentProfits, after all, were more desirable than bombs and his
    grandchildren would go to the finest schools and universities in the countryTwo men got out of

    “What’s this Webb look like?” asked Albert Armbruster, chairman of the Federal Trade
    Commission, as they walked along the edge of the parking lot
    “I only have a description from the gardener, who was hiding behind a fence thirty feet away
    “What did he tell you?” The unidentified associate of the chairman, a short stocky man with
    penetrating dark eyes and dark eyebrows beneath dark hair, looked at DeSole“Be precise,” he
    added
    “Now, just a minute,” protested the analyst defensively but firmly“I’m precise in everything I
    say, and, frankly, whoever you are, I don’t like the tone of your voice one

    through my chest, not the return of blood to my fingersWhat do you want me to do about it?
    He's not yours
    “I think I'll tag along,” Jared said as Ian, with a tiny, triumphant smile hovering around the
    edges of his mouth, turned and headed toward the exit“There's something I want to discuss
    with you
    Jared didn't discuss anything at all as we walked through the dark tunnelHe was so quiet, I

    Through the glare of the sun on his back, the glittering brilliance of the sand, Wakara realized that he was very depressedWhat was it Dove had said about Ishimara's diary? "Fascinating document Had Dove actually been touched by it? Wakara shrugged; it was impossible for him to understand Americans like Dove, just as it was impossible for him to understand JapaneseStill there had been a time in Berkeley in his senior year when his paintings were getting some notice, and many of the American students were friendly with himBut of course that was all shattered by the war Major Infantry, Japanese ArmyThat was the way he had signed it, relinquishing himself again to anonymity

    xiv
    There was something pulling me - maybe something
    that had been in me since the accident, but surely
    something that had come back from Duma Key Road
    with meI'm not sure I could have
    stood against it in any case, but I didn't even
    try; I was curious
    My daughter's purse was on the coffee table in the
    living roomI opened it, took out her wallet, and
    flipped through the pictures insideDoing this
    made me feel a little like a cad, but only a
    littleIt's not as if you're stealing anything, I
    163
    told myself, but of course there are many ways of
    stealing, aren't there?
    Here was the photo of Carson Jones she'd shown me
    at the airport, but I didn't want thatI didn't
    want him by himselfI wanted him with herI
    wanted a picture of them as a coupleIt looked as if it had been taken at a
    roadside stand; there were baskets of cucumbers
    and corn behind themThey were smiling and young
    and beautifulTheir arms were around each other,
    and one of Carson Jones's palms appeared to be
    resting on the swell of my daughter's blue jeansclad
    assOh you crazy ChristianMy right arm was
    still itching, a low, steady skin-crawl like
    prickly heatI scratched at it, scratched through
    it, and got my ribs instead for the ten thousandth
    timeThis picture was also in a protective seethrough
    envelopeI slid it out, glanced over my
    shoulder - nervous as a burglar on his first job -
    at the partially open door of the room where Ilse
    was sleeping, then turned the picture over
    I love you, Punkin!
    "Smiley"
    164
    Could I trust a suitor who called my daughter
    Punkin and signed himself Smiley? I didn't think
    soIt might not be fair, but no - I didn't think
    soNevertheless, I had found what I was looking
    forI turned the picture over
    again, closed my eyes, and pretended I was
    touching their Kodachrome images with my right
    handAlthough pretending wasn't what it felt like;
    I suppose I don't have to tell you that by now
    After some passage of time - I don't know exactly
    how long - I returned the picture to its plastic
    sleeve and submerged her wallet beneath the
    tissues and cosmetics to approximately the same
    depth at which I had found itThen I put her
    purse back on the coffee table and went into my
    bedroom to get Reba the Anger-Management DollI

    GALLAGHER
    THE REVOLUTIONARY REVERSED

    A short man with a bunched wiry body that gave the impression of being gnarled and sourHis face was small and ugly, pocked with the scars of a severe acne which had left his skin lumpy, spotted with swatches of purple-redPerhaps it was the louis vuitton travel color of his face, or it might have been the shape of his long Irish nose, which slanted resentfully to one side, but he always looked wrothYet he was only twenty-four

    In South Boston and Dorchester and Roxbury the gray wooden houses parade for miles in a file of drabness and desolation and wasteThe streetcars jangle through a wilderness of cobblestone and sapless wood; the brick is old and powders under your fingertips if you rub it vigorouslyAll colors are lost in the predominating gray; the faces of the people have assumed it at lastThere are no Jews or Italians or Irish -- their features omega seamaster watch have blurred in an anonymous mortar which has rendered them homogeneous and dustyIt is in their speechThey all talk with the same depressing harsh arid tongue"If I had a caah, I'd show it some caaer, I mean some caaer, I wouldn't paaark it just anywhaah
    It was founded by burghers and is ruled by bourgeois; everything flows on glabrous surfaces, everything is fine in Boston to read the newspapers, which are all the same, everything is okay in politics because the political parties are the sameEverybody belongs to the middle class, everybody down to the bums who drowse and retch on the subway deville watch that goes to Maverick Square in East Boston at two ASomewhere they must have protested against going into the mortar but it is all lost now
    There is a deadening regularity and a sullen vicious temper that rides underneath the surface, the glabrous surface of the Boston Herald and Post and Traveler and Daily Record and Boston-American, it erupts in the drunks who splatter the subways more completely than the drunks of any other city, it skitters around Scollay Square, where lust is always sordid and Sodom copulates in garbageIt even moves in the traffic, which is snarled and sullen and frenetic, and watches gucci it rides the brow when the kids are beaten up in the alleyways, and the synagogues and cemeteries are fouled with language and symbol, "The fuggin kikes" and the cross or swastika"I am distressed to hear of it," says Governor Curley, Saltonstall, Tobin

    The kids have gang fights with stones and sticks and knuckle-bands; in the winter the snowballs are packed with rocksIt is of course harmless, a mere tapping of the healthycompetitiveinstinct

    The thunderheads stacked up, huge flatboats black
    on the bottom and bruise-purple through the middle
    Every now and then lightning would flash inside
    them, and then they looked like brains filled with
    bad ideasThe Gulf lost its color and went dead
    Sunset was a yellow band that flicked feeble
    orange and went outLittle Pink filled with gloom
    The radio began to bray static with each burst of
    lightningI paused long enough to turn it off,
    but I didn't turn on the lights
    I don't remember exactly when it stopped being me
    that was doing the paintingand to this day I'm
    not sure that it ever stopped being me; maybe sí,
    515
    maybe noAll I know is that at some point I
    looked down and saw my right arm in the last of
    the failing daylight and the occasional stutters
    of lightningThe stump was tanned, the rest dead
    whiteThe muscles hung loose and flabbyThere
    was no scar, no seam except the tan-line, but
    below there it itched like old dry fireThen the
    lightning flashed again and there was no arm,
    there had never been an arm - not on Duma Key, at
    least - but the itch was still there, so bad it
    made you want to bite a piece out of something
    I turned back to the canvas and the second I did,
    the itch poured in that direction like water let
    out of a bag, and the frenzy fell on meThe storm
    dropped on the Key as the dark came down and I
    thought of certain circus acts where the guy
    throws knives blindfolded at a pretty girl
    spreadeagled on a spinning wooden platter, and I
    think I laughed because I was painting blindfold,

    flash and Wireman would leap at me, Wireman at
    twenty-five, Wireman before Julia, before

    Dead things, yes! A ship had come here, a ship of

    living corpsesThey were under this house, and
    the storm had brought them to lifeI could see
    them pushing up through the boneyard blanket of
    the shells, pallid jellies with green hair and
    seagull eyes, crawling over each other in the dark

    ?As for stocks, I like Peter Lynch's book Beating the Street for his formula for selecting stocks that grow in valueI have found that the principles of finding value are the same regardless if it's real estate, stocks, mutual funds, new companies, a new pet, a new home, a new spouse, or a bargain on laundry detergentThe process is always the sameYou need to know what you're looking for and then go look for it!

    ?Why consumers will always be poorWhen the supermarket has a sale on, say, toilet paper, the consumer runs in and stocks upWhen the stock market has a sale, most often called a crash or correction, the consumer runs away from itWhen the supermarket raises its prices, the consumer shops elsewhereWhen the stock market raises its prices, the consumer starts buying

    ?Look in the right placesA neighbor bought a condominium for $100,000I bought the identical condo next door to his for $50,000He told me he's waiting for the price to go upI told him that his profit is made when you buy, not when you sellHe shopped with a real estate broker who owns no property of her ownI shopped at the foreclosure department of a bankI paid $500 for a class on how to do thisMy neighbor thought that the $500 for a real estate investment class was too expensiveHe said he could not afford it, and he couldn't afford the time So he waits for the price to go up

    ?I look for people who want to buy first, then I look for someone who wants to sellA friend was looking for a certain piece of landHe had the money and did not have the timeI found a large piece of land larger than what my friend wanted to buy, tied it up with an option, called my friend and he wanted a piece of itSo I sold the piece to him and then bought the l
