...anonymous author of Berlinguer and the Professor (published last October as Berlinguer e il Professore and recently translated into English by John Shepley) has chosen to laugh. The novel, wildly acclaimed even before publication, describes the "historic compromise" that is imminent in the actual elections to be held in Italy in June--the formation of a government in which the communists have a share of power...
...imposing were the colt's credentials that a Blue Grass record crowd of 20,900 wagered an unprecedented $330,000 on the race, most of it on Honest Pleasure. By post time, the actual odds were 1 to 18, and he did not disappoint his backers. (Good news for the bettors, bad news for the track: it lost $41,876.20 on the race, since it had to pay $2.20 for each $2 bet on Honest Pleasure...
...socially oppressed Woyzeck, the constant object of his captain's moral lessons and his doctor's pointless experiments.

Whether these two silent figures, clutching at the empty air, represent Woyzeck's deteriorating mental state or whether they are intended...

More broadly, the whole complex is the kind of thing that in theory, when described or seen in model form, is a wonderful place to live, but in actual fact is not. It's the kind of place that is ideally suited to artists' conceptions, these drawings that show people strolling through plazas pushing baby carriages, sitting under schematic trees and living the good life...
...actual fact, none of these things work the way they're supposed to. The building shapes that look so pleasing in schematic drawings in real life form a confusing jumble, one in which it's hard to tell where the order is. The red brick, while offset by inset balconies and windows, is still massive and intimidating. The pedestrian areas are claustrophobic, their trees in neat rows or sunk in cement, quite unlikely to be the site of casual gatherings. The river is nearby, but so is the noisy traffic on Soldiers Field Road, Western Ave. and the Mass Pike...
