| If you think "fiction" can't be the truth, or you have even a passing interest in the reality of Chicago for Post-War "juvenile delinquents," read this for the answer(s) to both. | |

“In my world, people are always plotting. You
have no idea of all the crimes people in business commit every
day. Like it was nothing. Or there’s a set of special rules for them.
Remember when Bush made that whole speech about ‘corporate
ethics’ last year? What a fraud. You think stuff like Enron or
WorldCom is an aberration? It’s only the tip. Business is a religion.
Probably the only one practiced all over the world.”

Now I've read your tale "Die Macht des Mondes" which is part of the German book "Erbarmungslose Stiere". It was very short, but I really liked it!
