...seems a bit graceless to complain at this stage (his 41st year, his 19th book) about a writer as gifted and giving as John Updike. He has produced a body of writing whose size and consistent high quality are unapproached by the work of any American writer near his age, except Norman Mailer. It is hard to imagine how John Updike could have managed the business of being John Updike any more faithfully...
...think the season's begun," said Kitty Carlisle. "It looks as if everyone's back from the beach." So it seemed. Many of the returned vacationers packed into TV Interviewer Barbara Walters' Manhattan apartment for her 41st birthday party.

...cops is that the cops are always busting them, never the pushers." That frustration, he claims, caused the rape and murder of an alleged woman pusher three months ago. "The week before," says Gracia, "some of her junkies had stabbed some of the Immortals. The kids went to the 41st Precinct and told the cops: 'You've got 72 hours to get them junkies out of there or we will.' When no arrests were made, they did it themselves...
