...action is extremely difficult. This shunting of the place of individual action into the realm of moral and family life should not be viewed as a descent. Some, if not many, individuals may be better suited to other activities. They may be funny but not courageous, clever but not generous. However, whether they will it or not, these individuals now find that it is their conduct at home and in church that matters...
...came out to take her bows. They must have had a parental sixth sense. "The part that terrified me most was just walking down that runway," said Stella afterward. Critics described McCartney's lacy, feminine clothes as a "happy hodgepodge" of pieces with "gentle flourishes"--not unlike what some generous souls say about PAUL MCCARTNEY's musical compositions. His latest, Standing Stone, took four years to write. It's a "symphonic poem" that also had its debut last week, at London's Royal Albert Hall.

He doesn't look at his sources in American vernacular--photos, movies, and junk of all kinds--with anything resembling irony or distance. He is in it up to the neck and wants...
When I first met Harold, I realized he was a character straight out of one of his books: brash, aggressive, generous, flamboyant. It was 1972, and I was a fairly unknown writer. Harold had read my book Sinners and liked it. He signed a copy of The Betsy, "For Jackie Collins. Beautiful authors have an advantage for openers--but when they can really write, it's positively unfair." What encouragement--I was thrilled...
