If Di Nunzio paces restlessly past the kitchen door, Pavarotti looks up smilingly from a steaming saucepan-and whistles...
Discussion and disputes about busing continue. Opponents say it is costly and ineffective. Its backers urge it as the only way of achieving integration.

How long this higher output will be sustained could depend on how the Saudis rate U.S. Middle East policy, especially the stand...
Margo eventually finds her husband, who faked the accident in order to disappear discreetly with a girl half his age. But by then, Margo's own affairs (including one with the reformed Boonton drunk) are no longer so simple. Neither, unfortunately, is the novel. Into just 214 pages Clark crams, along with Margo's story, the restlessness, trials, past deeds and dreams of a score of other characters. There are Hannah Palz, a motherly musician-in-residence; Jim Pace, an unscrupulous real estate dealer; Brit Horton, a grizzled farmer; Mercy Grout, the local adventuress. There are also touches...
