...company, they have broken up their firm into a dozen operating departments that are only loosely supervised from above. A department general manager is like a captain on a ship, free to chart his own course so long as he meets schedules and wins battles, and he has a broader field of command and a plumper paycheck than most company presidents-often $250,000. Half of the general managers control sales of more than $100 million annually, and the one who runs the biggest department-textile fibers-is responsible for close to $1 billion...
...stories for a while seems wise. The Horse Knows the Way (the title has overtones of weariness and self-mockery) is his fourth large collection of short stories in four years.

In its way, that ambition constitutes Jack O'Brian's most devastating TV criticism...
...comfort those who are incurably ill. There is wide public misunderstanding, said Father Alves, of the full purpose of the Roman Catholic "sacrament of the sick." Long called "extreme unction," it is still too generally regarded as simply the last anointing before death. But in modern theology a broader and more ancient purpose has been re-emphasized. The sacrament is not only concerned with accommodation to death; it is a prayer to God to restore the patient to good health...
