...wife and teen-age daughter, dubbed Saigon because it was her timely birth that kept the attorney from being sent there. Kennedy is a variegated yarn of third-rate perpetrators, second-class citizens and first-person encounters. But it works. Under the author's increasingly deft touch, events blend like coffee and Irish whisky, and conversations ring as true as coins on a mahogany...

In 1979 Burgundy Shipper Bernard-Noël Grivelet was accused of peddling an inferior blend under the finest names of the Cote d'Or. Now comes a 1980 scandal that may dwarf them both...

The once unorthodox blend of liberalism and conservatism that Brown was the first to champion has received increasing popular support; many of the candidates are now describing themselves as "socially compassionate fiscal conservatives." Still, Brown's campaign has yet to ignite, or even give off a spark. The essence of his success in 1976--his unconventionality--has triggered...
