...Actually, it was my mother." Brown's father, the state's popular onetime Democratic Governor, stepped to the microphone with a cheerful rejoinder: "I just want to say I had something to do with it too." Indeed he had. Political nepotism - aboveboard, unashamed and unabashed - was in fashion again. In Massachusetts, Democrat Thomas P. O'Neill III, the 30-year-old son of House Majority Leader "Tip" O'Neill, went from the state legislature (and a seat once held by his father) to become the commonwealth's Lieutenant Governor. In Connecticut, Christopher Dodd...
...Orderly Fashion. The decline in writing ability shows up even at Harvard, where all undergraduates must take a twelve-week course in expository writing. "We try to teach them to write a simple, clear sentence that says what they mean and then arrange those sentences in some orderly fashion," says English Professor Gwynne Evans. "Most of them don't know how to do that when they come here." The discipline was too much for one Harvard student. "It nearly drove me crazy," he says.

WHOEVER OUR AUTHOR is--the aging Watson or the youthful Meyer--he has created this tale out of the stuff of the traditional Holmes canon in a brilliant and startling fashion.

And the story, with its pivotal heroine, its deferentially anonymous references to European nobility, its global crisis in the offing...

Jean Tyler, 44, a former showgirl and fashion model who now works as a fashion consultant in Hollywood, discovered one in her breast a year ago. "I put it out of my mind then," she recalls. "I knew there was something there, but I didn't want to touch it." Her doctor dissuaded her from further delay. In the past, frightened women often waited as long as a year before reporting a suspicious lump to their doctors; if the tumor was malignant...
Social Test. Married women generally resume normal sexual activities as soon as they recover from their operations. But single women tend to find the adjustment more difficult. One of Fashion Consultant Jean Tyler's male friends was obviously uneasy over the fact that she had lost a breast. "He was terribly nice and understanding, but I noticed that he kept me at arm's length all evening," she recalls. There are some single women who even feel that a mastectomy has some social value; it provides a good test of any relationship...
