...achievement based on trust and integrity," the silver-haired Thayer told Judge Charles R. Richey before the sentence was announced. "The last two years have been a living nightmare. I don't like myself as well as I used to." After hearing the punishment, Thayer's wife and daughter leaned over to embrace him. Thayer was to begin serving his term this week at a minimum security prison camp in Big Spring, Texas...
...walking a tightrope in Barnum, and Stockard Channing, a lopsided-grinning gamine best known for mugging her way through the movie Grease, there could scarcely be better parts to broaden their images. Brian and Sheila cannot have anything like a normal life if they keep their helpless spastic daughter Josephine; they cannot rid themselves of guilt if they remand her to the unloving custody of the state.

She is the one beckoning presence in this private family world...
Segal follows his classmates into middle age with clarity, compassion and cliches: "He had sired three sons. But his daughter was the apple of his eye." Rossi squanders his gifts to feed an addiction for applause; Keller very nearly makes it to the top in the State Department before he cracks under the weight of his past; Gilbert starts out like John McEnroe and ends up resembling Paul Newman in Exodus; and Lambros outpreppies the Lands' End catalog. Everybody pays a high price for success, except Eliot, who pays for his failures. To compare The Class with The Group, Mary...
