...waiting lines at her concession on weekends and on Tuesday nights, when city roller fans join in "Nightskates," a two-hour jaunt through the park. Last week they pirouetted and coasted to music from the New York Philharmonic's open-air concert near by. At lunch hour, regulars glide along the park's winding paths, lapping the joggers. Some of the joggers are in fact beginning to roll, and one skate manufacturer has come out with a "jogger" model-a blue running shoe with yellow racing stripes mounted on wheels.

In fact, she is one of the best of those soft-stepping Austenian observers who seem to glide easily over a situation or a subject without leaving a distorting wake. "My way," she writes, "is to use my intuition as a compass, go where I feel welcome, stay as long as I can manage to, meet whoever is around, help them do what they are doing if they will...
