...solidly within the ethos of 1st century Judaism. At the wedding feast of Mary and Joseph, men perform a chaste dance of celebration. During Jesus' bar mitzvah, Mary gazes with the women from behind the mechitzah (barrier) at the Nazareth synagogue. There are also some deft touches from everyday life. One of the soldiers gripes, "I can hardly wait to get back to Rome," as he ambles down the cemetery path to discover an empty tomb that will change the course of history. Richard N. Ostling...
...Peace, the trembling of Russian society in the face of the Napoleonic Wars is staged in the historian's limbo of order and chaos, at the interface of the sloping stage of destiny and the flat, eye-level platform of action.

The peculiar predicament of characters adhering fiercely to free choice in a determined world...

...wonder who reads this kind of publication besides myself. Are there other news schlock fanatics out there somewhere, eager to explore a fantasy world more "real" than everyday life because it appears in print? I'm not sure there are. Perhaps most of the shlock readership is made up of housewives, middle-American prisoners of the vacuum and the mop, crying babies over their shoulders and Rice Krispies cookies in their ovens. The Star, after all, is ostensibly for "American Women." The Enquirer and Midnight claim a more diverse audience...
