When James Jakubowski's marriage was heading toward the rocks, he decided to take action: he called the police. Two weeks later, his wife Dawn was under arrest for adultery. Like a modern-day Hester Prynne, Dawn was soon the talk of the town, Norwich, Conn., a circumstance that does not dismay her husband. "People in this society need to hear that adultery is wrong and that it destroys families," he proclaims. "I believe in the institution of marriage." His wife's lawyer is less enthused. "The thoughtless and insensitive act by Mr. Jakubowski has caused enormous embarrassment and humiliation...
...like Burns ("I have a very, very hands-on approach") to go through the whole drill -- the 5:45 a.m. hikes, the Win/Win negotiating workshop, the Take This Job and Love It seminar.

Fifteen years of daily notes and books half written, of statues and photos and memories, were gone. My only solace came from the final irony. In the manuscript I had saved, I had quoted the poem of the 17th century Japanese wanderer Basho, describing how destruction can sometimes bring...
...government tolerated the occupation for nearly two months, but last week it lost first its patience and then much of its credibility. Just before dawn on Wednesday, more than 1,000 riot police poured into the square, setting fire to the tents of hunger strikers and beating 100 dissidents. Within hours thousands of protesters armed with clubs and petrol bombs were battling police throughout the city. As black smoke rose over Bucharest, Iliescu appeared on television to appeal for support against "a fascist rebellion...
