...Cheeverville and Updike Corners, where adultery is in the air like chimney smoke. Daniel brings with him his girlfriend Kate, a writer who has acid intelligence, a 4-year-old daughter whom Daniel adores and an accelerating problem with drink. Kate is still sober enough to realize that her boyfriend has been coldcocked by love for Iris, a genial, married grad student and mother. For good measure, Iris is African American, which means that once she and Daniel are in full swing, they will be not just treacherous mates but also load bearers of the burdens of history. Daniel imagines...
...heirs to the Bacon fortune, has descended on Pattaya, where he moved in the mid-1990s. The top candidates: Edwards' 22-year-old gay Thai lover and Philip Mordue, Edwards' roommate after Bacon's death. Mordue could not be reached at his penthouse in Pattaya. But last week, Edwards' boyfriend, who asked to be identified as "Jack," was drinking coffee in a Pattaya bar and pondering his strange fortune. Just 16 when he first met Edwards, Jack says his benefactor left him something (he won't say what) and a last request: don't blow the inheritance by opening...

His glee was unmistakable, and after the service, he did his best imitation of nonchalance, trying...

In New York City and Washington, rumors were viral, spreading by word and wire; a friend calls a friend to say her ex-boyfriend's sister's friend's father is a top New York City cop and told his daughter to "avoid the subway for the next 36 hours." Members of Congress were warned about possible assassination attempts, even as missile batteries were scattered all over the capital, and at one Safeway store there...
Faced with such a situation, a significant percentage will drop theses, or, as my ex-Social Studies boyfriend put it, take advantage of that “giant golden parachute” known as the Government Department. This is a great decision. Graduate school is in the near future anyway, at which time a Dissertation Club can be yours. In Cambridge, your senior spring will be pleasant; while your thesising friends are taking advantage of their only hope of a golden parachute—Jack Daniels over bad drafts—you’ll be living...
