Wrap socialism, feminism and environmentalism into one person's sensibility, and what you're likely to get is a lousy dinner guest -- someone who will find alienation in a Johnny Carson monologue, pesticides in an arugula salad and phallic symbols in the latest James Bond movie. But in contrast to some of the solemn ideologues who share her causes, Barbara Ehrenreich is a leftist with levity, so don't get discouraged about the title of this provocative new collection of essays...
...become President. The last homeless person in the U.S. will have found a permanent place to live, somewhere in Chicago, and the cure for AIDS will have come from a wildflower found in the jungles of Africa. A top item in Milestones: Elizabeth Taylor's marriage to Johnny Carson. The covers of the two winning magazines announced the arrival of aliens on earth and superbabies created through genetic engineering. "The kids did a tremendous job," says Patricia Raupers, district coordinator of gifted programs. "They developed some creative ideas under a tight deadline...

Second, even if one were to assume that all of "white America" thought and believed as one, there is no basis for saying Stuart's story struck their "gravest fear." I would think people fear...
...Hirsch and Mathews account has received mixed reviews from the surviving members of the Los Alamos team. Carson Mark, who took over for Bethe in 1947, concedes that the U.S. monitored the Soviets' weapons research by examining the fallout from their blasts, but he doubts that the U.S.S.R. could have worked in the other direction, deducing the secret of Mike's construction by studying its debris. Teller and others believe that the late Andrei Sakharov, who built the Soviet H-bomb, was clever enough to have invented the device from scratch, without the help of Fuchs or anyone else...
