...paper's guiding credo might have come from Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain: Dignity, always dignity. An early color version of the business section was reportedly sent back by top editors, who found its turquoise-and-orange charts too reminiscent of USA Today. Color in the Times will be "sophisticated," says Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the paper's boyishly exuberant publisher. He likes to recall a focus-group session the paper did several years ago in Connecticut. Shown some proposed changes in the Times, one woman was appalled. "I don't read the paper," she said...

...criticism and short stories. He was a rare book reviewer who could also create memorable fiction. His stories, comic but sympathetic renderings of the antic aspirations of ordinary people, remained refreshingly old-fashioned and essentially timeless and enduring, given all the literary fads he lived through.

He'd like to see a mandatory two-thirds congressional "supermajority" to raise taxes, a $500-per-child tax credit and a balanced-budget amendment. Republicans are hoping Teague's 11th point is a plan to overcome the 10th District's long tradition of sending Democrats to Washington...

...mirage/Do not be proud of the sharpness of your understanding;/It may be your freedom from this optical illusion/Is due to the imperfection of your thirst." In other words, skepticism is the sign of spiritual deformity, rather than a necessary sign of the times. This is certainly Kinnell's credo in these poems, where images of paradise and heaven recur very frequently; while he doesn't come right out and say he believes in God and Heaven, he leaves no doubt that he's thirsty for them...
