...book-clogged study on Manhattan's West Side, where he lives with his wife Marion, who translates his work from French into English, and their 12- year-old son Shlomo Elisha, Wiesel gazes down at the bare trees in Central Park and ponders. "Frequently I ask myself, how can one bring a child into this dreadful world, where Holocaust is now preceded by the word nuclear? And then I answer: In a faithless time, what greater act of belief is there than the one of birth? And what better thing to do than prevent the greatest murder...
...dance (Treat Williams, Bobby DiCicco), trigger-happy soldiers and pilots (Dan Aykroyd, Warren Gates, John Be lushi), middle-aged suburbanites (Ned Beatty, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton), and stray German, American and Japanese commanding officers (Christopher Lee, Robert Stack, Toshiro Mifune).

By week's end, when the offer expired, United claimed that it had bought more than half of Otis' 8.1 million outstanding common shares at $44 each, giving it control of the firm that Elisha Otis founded in Yonkers, N.Y., 122 years ago. The price for even half of the Otis shares would be about $180 million...
...common-sense misgivings about Scripture: the awareness that a literal reading of the creation accounts seems to contradict science or, more importantly, that the Bible contains disturbing contradictions in its own moral teachings. Readers have been scandalized by a horrible incident in 11 Kings that tells how the prophet Elisha was taunted for his baldness by a group of youngsters. The prophet cursed the boys "in the name of the Lord," whereupon two bears came out of the woods and tore them apart. More immediate for Christians are the troubling "dark sayings" of Jesus like his warning that "I have...
