...send back his married lover's mail, then or later, after the affair had finally sputtered out. In 1980 some 300 of these "inanimate things" turned up for sale and were bought by the University of Texas at Austin. Most of those included in The Letters of Edith Wharton appear in print for the first time...
...creditable outposts of haute Continental cuisine. At the top of the list is 103 West. It is discouraging at first glance, gussied up with enough faux-everything kitsch to make one wish for a machete to clear a path to a table. However, once one is seated, delights appear, marred only occasionally by a lax waiter or an overdone duck. There are sublimely puffy lump-crabmeat cakes and tender veal chops with morels. Not to be missed: profiteroles filled with foie gras. The kitchen also serves an original version of pot-au-feu for which the succulently moist, tarragon- scented...
...refusing to be pinned down in any style and incorporating such materials as bits of blue plastic scrap, bronze, wood, lab glass, plaster, cogwheels, rubber and sandstone. At times the results look mysteriously vulnerable and reserved, like Silicate, 1988, an array of laboratory beakers and bottles, sandblasted until holes appear in their milky skins.

Travis' major career worry for the past year would appear to be that his new album, called Old 8x10 and just now in stores, might dislodge Always from the top of the country charts, where it has perched for almost a year. One million copies of Old 8x10 have already been ordered up by retail outlets, and reorders seem a solid...
Social psychologists use the term "cognitive dissonance" for the anxiety caused when facts conflict with deeply held beliefs. Americans appear to have responded to the cognitive dissonance triggered by the Iranian airbus disaster by stifling both moral responsibility and collective grief. A Washington Post- ABC News poll found that 74% of those surveyed believe that Iran is more to blame than the U.S. for the destruction of Flight 655. Certainly this reaction was compounded by the role that Iran plays in American demonology. Nine years of demonstrators in Tehran chanting "Death to America!" have fueled an emotional climate where...
