Pawn en Passant. The central event that impinges on the well-earned satisfactions of Eliot's Indian-summer years is the sadistic murder of an eight-year-old boy by a lesbian couple. This grisly action greatly resembles the Moors murder case, described in 1967 by Snow's novelist wife Pamela Hansford Johnson in a short book of moralizing social criticism called On Iniquity. Trying to match modified reality with near-art, Snow contrives to have Eliot drawn into the murder's aftermath and the murderers' trial through a series of unconvincing coincidences. The brother...

If the key question was student participation in Faculty meetings, why was this question not raised with the SFAC which was created precisely to study and recommend on such matters? Why were student...
