...earlier novels, including The Sot-Weed Factor (1960), and two collections of shorter fiction-may be able to deny or evade this issue. Art is pattern and design, after all, not morality. Or, on another front: a writer must use material, however unpleasant, not weep over or try to correct it. Fine. But those who feel claustrophobic in the presence of smug, self-deluded solipsism may also decide to skip the whole experience. Barth has often been a pleasant guide through the states of his mind; Susan and Fenwick, his alter egos...
...students. Even at Cornell, with 12,000 undergrads, the Student Senate boasts just 30 elected representatives. During both constitutional conventions here in 1977-78 and 1981-82, a prime concern was electoral accountability, and the student politicos designing the structures have chosen a slew of council seats as the correct way to avoid communications breakdowns...

Just as liberals have always (and justifiably) mocked conservatives for promising long-term economic prosperity and ignoring short-term misery, liberals have committed much the same offense with regard to crime...
...scientists learned that the search for the elusive monopole may have paid off. A paper submitted to Physical Review Letters by Blas Cabrera, 35, an assistant professor of physics at Stanford University, reports an "event" that Cabrera thinks may have been caused by a monopole. If Cabrera is correct, his discovery could validate the various "grand unification theories," which postulate the existence of superheavy monopoles and hold that three natural forces-electro-magnetism, radioactivity and nuclear bonding-are manifestations of a single grand force. Monopoles might also account for the mass in the universe that cosmologists say is "missing...
...Camino Real Derby at Bay Meadows in San Mateo, Calif. After the race they realized that his good eye had been covered over with mud. He had run blind. The track was fast last Saturday, but Cassaleria ran 13th. He never seemed to be leading with the correct foot. "Cassaleria didn't seem to get ahold of the track," said Jockey Darrel McHargue...
