MIRACLES (Caedmon). The title is the judgment of this anthology of beautifully wrought poems by English-speaking children in all parts of the world. Whether the subject is 2,200,000 fish or simply the wind and the rain, the insights are as fresh as childhood itself. Read with the proper amalgam of wonder and authority by Julie Harris and Roddy McDowall...

Given the same sort of opportunity, Meyer remains trapped. He falls in love with Lena, a middle-aged sculptor, but when the time comes to declare himself, he retreats into his customary caution-waiting, watching, chary before choice. Then at last Lena does him a favor-she dies. At her funeral, Meyer surveys her friends. "Terrible people," he tells himself later. "Terrible. I should never have gotten involved." He never will again...
