...sense of space in poetry, that feeling for the vast empty untouched universe of things to be felt and said. Besides the Orientals, who have always known where space is, perhaps only the Americans, with the expanse of physical space to their right and left, can strike it rich-even if their minds are just half open-said Bly. America's poets have only to relax into this, to lean-as Galway Kinnell says-"in any direction, which...
Selling on Sunday. The auto companies are not alone in their struggle against increasing consumer resistance. For the first nine months of this year, overall retail sales are only 4% above their 1968 pace-less than the rate of price increases.

"You wake up in the morning knowing you're going to have to accept what he tells you to do without question; not with resignation but with confidence." Her confidence may have been bolstered by another...
...unabashed case of hero-worship by the English founder and director of the Institut et Musée Voltaire in Geneva and editor of the 107 volumes of Voltaire's Correspondence. Besterman's zeal can nearly do the impossible: make his scintillating subject dull. Yet Voltaire survives even his sedulous admiration-perhaps because no age can help finding a man fascinating who himself was so fascinated by life...
