Hall's listeners were his neighbors, a retired Navy officer, an antiques dealer, several social workers and perhaps a farmer, though farmers are rarer than poets in New Hampshire these days. They were on hand to honor Hall and English words, and even baseball, if that is what was asked. Though some of them probably imagine that Carl Yastrzemski and Ted Williams too still play for the Red Sox, and most of the rest never heard of these heroes...
...political wheeler-dealer who was Bill Clinton's surprise choice to be U.S. Trade Representative, Kantor had little experience in the acronymic arcana of GATT and NAFTA and other trade agreements. Yet he has proved a remarkably quick study, in the manner of a crack litigator mastering a complex brief. He is, by training and nature, an aggressive lawyer and lobbyist.

He has represented migrant farmworkers...

As it happens, Dowie's 22 acres on the island of Hawaii were the childhood home of the legendary King Kamehameha I, who unified the islands in 1795. Traversed by the lazy beauty of the Halawa Stream, the lush property boasts important archaeological sites and major tourism possibilities. In a ceremony last week, Customs turned it all over to the state. Dowie, on the lam since 1990, did not attend...
