...participants, you missed the workshops and working sessions, which offered valuable wisdom, training and hope. Your focus on the controversies gives a totally different impression than we had after a more balanced participation in the conference. Craig Van Tuinen, M.D. Carol Rooke Van Tuinen, R.N. Newton Corner, Mass...
...blacks who could afford it got out, like the whites before them. On 47th Street, once the heart of the community, no one objects now when a loudspeaker on a police wagon addresses those who have stayed behind as if they were refuse: "All right, clean off that corner.

...pretty good spy thriller can be spotted now and then, ducking around a corner or disappearing into a manhole, as Len Deighton slowly brings his three-volume tale of find-the-mole to a close. Readers who have stayed with the author from the beginning may have forgotten that Berlin Game, the first book in the trilogy, begins with British Intelligence Agent Bernard Samson and his old friend Werner Volkmann doing a bit of surveillance near the Berlin Wall. Samson, sour and middle-aged, asks, "How long have we been sitting here?" and Volkmann, an ironist, replies, "Nearly a quarter...
