...journalist and short-story writer, stayed on for weeks at Kingcome: listening, interviewing, taking notes. Like many another writer in similar circumstances, she resolved that she would get it all down before it was gone forever. What she finally produced was I Heard the Owl Call My Name, a blend of fact and imagination that can better be described as a prose elegy than a novel...
Newsday is easily the nation's best suburban newspaper. Only 33 years old, it has grown up and prospered with Long Island. Its tabloid format is an innovative blend of newspaper and newsmagazine.

True, 40 out of 100 students in his audience at Kiel Senior High School were for impeachment, but virtually none of the businessmen he met wanted to go that far, few were for resignation, and most, in fact, supported...
...Guard provides one of the best shows in town, without cover or minimum. At the height of the evening, clusters of singles stand sardine-fashion, gripping their drinks and watching the action. By midnight, the place is a low-lit, smoky, shrieking bedlam-a blend of screeching rock and swirling bodies. Over in the Other Room, a special chamber for the post-35 set, a champagne music duo is playing Make It Through the Night...
