...environment, and we have to be accountable to people from any place in the world ... [But] let's be [frank]. The relief stage ended on March 26 and there was a [three-week] vacuum before the agency was established. When it comes to housing, things are [moving]. If you expect harbors to be reconstructed and roads to be completely rebuilt, there's no way to do that in such a short time. But if you ask me if I am satisfied, my answer is no, I'm not. People are waiting. They haven't got enough. No one denies that...
...local arts scene who started the evenings five years ago. There's no cover charge-instead, band members walk around between sets holding out hats and caps for "gold-coin donations" (small-denomination silver change is frowned upon). But what's really special is the diversity of the audience. Expect to see suited office workers and bedraggled backpackers, elderly couples and trendy young things, all enjoying everything from toe-tapping swing to bebop.

"I would expect the paper to be a little more steady on the line," says Salisbury. "It would not dart and jab as much as Abe's paper...
...Field can expect some latenight calls. For VN is not only a revision of His Life in Part but a revisionist view of the man and much of his art. The literary icon Field once cryptically defined as a "Russian-American writer of our time and of his own reality" is now called a "great Russian-American Narcissus." Late novels such as Ada and Look at the Harlequins! are seen as works of a "garden-variety egotist." Both books have their share of self-indulgence and preening; neither approaches the level of masterpieces like Lolita and Pale Fire, the last...
