...thing that bugs me is our tactical nukes. They're little, sort of clean atomic shells that won't make a big mess and maybe won't cause World War III or something if we have to use them. But the way I figure it, a miniature mushroom cloud is still a mushroom cloud. That's one thing Dad never had to think about...
BECAUSE I insist on being one thing, it doesn't mean I've to deny being another," declares one of the characters in Saville. But straddling two worlds is not so easy. Between the dark drudgery of the coal pits and the cold, clean life of the middle classes, there can be little dialogue.

For all of you with "second show added" fetishes, there...
...Jane Eyre (1847), both a superb novel and the prototypical romance. The haughty Rochester had to be maimed and blinded before he was suitably domesticated as a mate for the governess heroine. If this deep psychological lode still runs through newly raised consciousnesses, then The Thorn Birds will probably clean up as handsomely as its promoters hope. In any case, its fate will be a barometer of taste circa the late '70s. McCullough has not made literature. For a season or so, her book will make commercial history. Paul Gray
