...evoked such an overwhelming and enthusiastic response. He met Gene and Peg Mullen, the heroes of his book, five years ago, and instantly became fascinated and obsessed with the story of the death of their first-born son, Michael, in Vietnam in 1970, and their subsequent involvement in the antiwar movement. Bryan wrote 900 pages, decided he had used the wrong approach, and rewrote the entire book, all the while nagged by the conviction that there was growing in America an unwillingness to think about Vietnam, that his book, when it eventually appeared, would be met by an embarrassed...

She had applied for menial jobs, too, she noted, "But people say I'm too old or too famous or too hot to handle." Atkinson, who has delivered plenty of barbs to male chauvinists and unmilitant feminists in her time, has a new target: the welfare department. To collect her first...
