...parent/medic perspective: peril shadows those who indulge. Long lists proclaim the relative effectiveness of various contraceptives; even lengthier ones describe the side effects of drugs. Most students are already bombarded by such warnings, yet Edelhart omits what could be the most useful information to students themselves: how to deal with a friend on drugs or how to cure a hangover. This stodgy approach to drugs and alcohol is typical of the weakness of the book, which gives a complete listing of standard references, but not necessarily the advice that students most need...
...great deal of the Pope's message was not specifically Catholic; large chunks of what he said could have been uttered by other Christian leaders. And the Pope appealed quite specifically, and effectively, to members of other faiths; at Battery Park on the lower tip of Manhattan, he addressed the nation's Jews, saying, "Shalom?peace be with you." Perhaps partly to aid this ecumenical appeal, he constantly emphasized a humble manner.

The domestic auto business faces serious problems, but Henry Ford, following a careful three-year transition of power, is leaving Philip Caldwell, 59, the company's first nonfamily chief, to deal with them...
...from his own imagination. One of them resembles a real killer, who is thrown into such a panic that he considers informing on the others. Then the police launch Operation Zebra: stopping and searching black youths who bear any likeness to the sketches. Overreacting to a desperate effort to deal with a genuine menace, the American Civil Liberties Union and various black groups indignantly denounce the police action as racist. In response to a lawsuit, Operation Zebra is declared unconstitutional, but under increasing pressure, the worried informer turns himself...
