Scott Turow is the author of "One L," and autobiographical account of the first year at Harvard Law School. Before coming to the Law School Turow spent five years at Stanford University as a fellow and a lecturer in creative writing.

Currently in his third year at the Law School, Turow is now working on a novel about...
...Moreover, the terrorist attack gives some validity to Israeli fears about negotiating with the PLO at this stage.

The massive swing back into deficit, which began early in 1976 and has accelerated ever since, has added to a pile of dollars owned outside the U.S. that is estimated...
...author's good sense in becoming an American is readily apparent, especially to Americans. To him France is all but fossilized, and his highborn relatives there are wholly so, as the funniest parts of his account maliciously attest. (Ted Morgan's Uncle Armand once brought Marcel Proust to lunch. Afterward the due de Gramont, Armand's father, handed his guest book to the already famous author "and with the total disdain of the nobleman for the artist, said, 'Just your name, Mr. Proust. No thoughts.' ") The U.S. he sees as still an open society, free...
