Willie Roberts, a 38-year-old chef who owns a small house on Chicago's West Side, recently decided to buy a bigger home for his wife and four children. He applied to a savings and loan association for a new mortgage-but in the three weeks he waited for the deal to be closed, the down payment jumped from 10% to 25% and the closing costs from 4.5% to 11%.

...progress of From the Diary of a Snail is all too consistent with the author's snail principles.

The meal was prepared by a Soviet chef, and over caviar, roast beef and five varieties of Russian wines and liqueurs, he tried to convince American Congressmen that nearly every Jew who had applied had been allowed to leave. Although Soviet emigration policy has eased markedly under pressure from the U.S., some of the Congressmen feared that the liberalization might end if M.F.N. were granted. Asked about this, Brezhnev declared: "We came...
