Does watching violent acts make us violent? As Western society becomes ever more media-saturated, this question continues to provoke heated debate. On one side are those who seek to reduce the role of violence in popular entertainment, and on the other are the defenders of free speech and civil liberties. Sissela Bok’s Mayhem is an attempt to assess the impact of violent entertainment and to provide strategies for reducing that impact.

The four old spies are long past any James Bond-style exploits, and these days meet up mostly at the funerals of former colleagues, after which they typically enjoy an hour or two complaining about the relaxation of standards at Britain’s security services. The latest indignity: The Director has recently sent round a most discourteous directive that the four are under no circumstances to consider writing their memoirs. Well, they are not to be ordered about like some band of errand-boys! They served their country with honor, and the country has the right to know it. In fact, the country

Well into his middle years, Gianni Castiglione has a pleasant, quiet life in Cremona. A luther - a maker and repairer of violinis - he spends most of his time adoring his grandchildren and playing chamber-quartets with the local priest, the chief of police, and a fellow aging luther, Tomaso Rainaldi.

But his end is anything but romantic; the old fellow is brutally murdered and his workroom destroyed. It soon
