...main narrative this week was written by Senior Writer Ed Magnuson, who also wrote last spring's cover story on the aborted rescue mission. Contributor John Skow reviewed the events leading up to the final breakthrough, with assistance from Reporter-Researcher Richard Bruns. Using sources he developed on four previous trips to Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, Correspondent Lee Griggs kept close tabs on the preparations to receive the hostages in West Germany. In New York, a TIME reporter specializing in Persian Gulf affairs stayed in close telephone contact with sources in Tehran, ran a network of journalists there and monitored...

Aliki Barnstone, also a poet and a contributor to the book, joined with her father in selecting the 311 poets represented. In scope and quality of translation, their work surpasses such previous efforts as the Penguin Book of Women Poets and The Other Voice: Twentieth-Century Women's Poetry in Translation. The editors have devoted several pages to such major figures as Enheduanna (c. 2300 B.C.), the first writer in history, male or female, whose work has been preserved...
