...language of visions. All are gently recounted, from Pedro's boyhood dream that he has the power to bring frightened souls back into the body to his adolescent dreams which confuse the events of his own life with those of Christ and the saints, to the dreams that fill him with enough strength to lead the insurrection. For though political and social historians may begin to explain a revolutionary as a political and social actor, only a novelist can see into a man's dreams and breathe life into him. In a more modest way, Wilson repeats--Cuscat's visionary...
FUSION. The ideal solution is to reproduce the sun's own process of joining atomic nuclei to produce clean, safe energy. The process, which also powers the hydrogen bomb, releases so much energy, and the hydrogen used as fuel is so abundant in sea water, that fusion could fill the world's electricity needs for millions of years. But the practical difficulties of confining nuclear particles in "bottles" of magnetic energy (at temperatures approaching 60 million degrees F.) are such that most experts do not foresee fusion working before 1990 at the earliest...

Aerospace and computer companies still offer few jobs, but construction, real estate, healthcare, pharmaceutical, leasing and financial firms are actively looking for new managers. Financial and marketing officers are most in demand. Salaries are up too; some companies will pay 10% or 15% more to fill a slot than they would have a year ago. They have more top jobs than middle-management openings to fill, and age is a barrier only to those in the middle ranks. One major Manhattan recruiter notes that a 63-year-old executive who earns $200,000 a year...
