...soft spot for brutes, his diary would reveal--all 17 million words, all 155 volumes. It took the late Evelyn Inman (she died last June) and two other trustees of his estate until 1977 to secure a publisher. Harvard University Press accepted the diarist's tonnage, then engaged Daniel Aaron, professor of English and American literature, to make sense of it. Aaron's distillation is just out; it runs to 850,000 words, costs $39.95 and weighs 5lbs...
...vying for the allegiance of the American public. On college campuses and television screens, in board rooms and scientific symposiums, the two sides are intent on persuading Americans that Star Wars is either a) an impossible and dangerous dream or b) the ultimate nuclear umbrella. Declares retired General Daniel Graham, head of High Frontier: "Both sides realize it's a political issue and grass-roots support is very important." Obscured by the often kindergartenish imagery, however, the real debate over SDI remains murky and complex...
This public recognition from black leaders is a significant departure from the past. Back in 1965 when New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then Assistant Secretary of Labor, released a study depicting instability in the black family and stressing the problem of the absentee father, he was roundly accused of racism for ignoring the economic basis of the situation.

That lack of attention was unfortunate, as black...
...paths that producers are testing to escape the boom-or-bust cycle on Broadway, where high operating costs all but demand that shows have ecstatic reviews or a huge advance sale to survive. Rappaport started as a production of the Seattle Repertory Theater. Next, that company's artistic director, Daniel Sullivan, staged it off-Broadway in June. Word of mouth built, and so did sales. Late last month Rappaport transferred to Broadway, where it takes its place as the funniest and most touching play yet this season. --By William A. Henry...
About 1.7 million houses were completed in the U.S. this year, and a great many of them were homely--lousy craftsmanship, ill-used sites, confused, graceless. All of which makes a new Omaha development called West Fair-acres Village especially promising. The architects, John Goldman and Daniel Solomon, have designed housing the old-fashioned way, comfortably dense, with a pleasantly irregular street grid and just enough stylistic variation. The basic model is an adapted Craftsman bungalow, circa 1920, but a buyer of a one-story house can mix and match from among four brick porches and four compatible timber gable...
