Yes, that's him. A friend tells me "Don't go by the movie, it's not
as good."

_Brothers_ is the sequel to _Marathon Man_ so you might want to read
it if you read _MM._ I am warned by the same friend that since Goldman
tends to put sadistic characters in his novels, be on notice that
_Brothers_ tends to shine in this respect.

And the reference to _Brothers_ was incorrect in my earlier posting.
It was _The Color of Light._ The main character researched the
question "Is it possible to kill a man by forcing him to swallow
an entire tube of toothpaste." The answer came back, "Yes, but it
would be hard to hide the evidence." Nothing more was said.

Please forgive my memory lapses.
