...West, Zarathustra, or Zoroaster, is a name meaningful chiefly to crossword-puzzle addicts and readers of Nietzsche. To the 100,000 Parsis of India who last week celebrated their New Year, the most sacred feast on their calendar, Zoroaster is still the one great prophet, the man who gave them their monotheistic faith in the god Ahura Mazda...
While Los Angeles cannot claim to have invented the certificate of readiness, it makes unusual use of it. The court's master calendar department feeds these details into a computer along with each lawyer's schedule for the next three months, then chooses a desirable trial date which is smoothly coordinated with all other trial dates throughout the court.

Downstairs, strips of bed sheet, clumsily tied with reef knots and granny knots, lay about the living-room floor, and the soft cushions bore...
Next year Alfred takes a sabbatical from Harvard and already his calendar is filled with teaching stints across the country and with less academic projects such as openings in Dublin and London for Hogan and ("in the wind") a Paris production of Agamemnon with Ingrid Bergman as Clytemenestre. And what with all the hoopla, he feels it may be a good time to bring some more works out of the drawer. Already finished are 40 pages of a comedy about long Irish engagements in Brooklyn, and then there's the near inevitability of the Hogan's Goat scenario. "But after...
