Meanwhile, a second Goshen trial-of Samuel Brown and Kathy Boudin-is set to begin in October. Boudin, 40, the most notorious of the suspects because of her link to the 1970 explosion of a Greenwich Village Weather Underground bomb factory, will be represented by attorneys who have consulted with her father, Civil Liberties Lawyer Leonard Boudin. They, as well as Brown's lawyers, are expected to put up a vigorous, conventional defense. That trial could be even costlier than its predecessor. -By Michael S. Serrill...
...most entertaining of the trio, I Shouldn 't Be Telling You This, is former New York Times Reporter Mary Breasted's fondly cynical story of a young Radcliffe graduate named Sarah Makepeace. She moves from freelancing for the Evil Eye, a leftist Greenwich Village weekly that resembles the Village Voice (where Breasted once labored), to a coveted staff job on the Newspaper, a dignified daily that is unmistakably the New York Times.

Consider the state of things in 1983. Last week, in Greenwich, Conn., a 100-ft.-long slice of an Interstate bridge fell away, dropping three motorists 70 ft. to their deaths in the Mianus River.

In both cases, behind the sadness of immediate events was a niggling sense of disillusion with U.S. engineering know-how: Glen Canyon...

Patsy is a playwright turned artist, and there was almost always someone interesting for Matthew and his two older sisters to talk to in their big four-bedroom apartment, overlooking Washington Square in Greenwich Village. Shy when he was growing up, Matthew for a time gave up his dream of acting, but the role of Snout in a high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream hooked him. Before that, both parents said not a word about acting; after that, they gave...
...there are two personal statistics of which he keeps careful track. The first concerns something called DXing, or long-distance communications by amateur radio. Magnuson, call sign W21JB, is an enthusiastic practitioner: in the past seven years, operating his rig from his apartment in New York City's Greenwich Village, he has made at least one contact with 301 of the 315 "countries" from which ham radio broadcasts can originate (a total that includes a single country's widely separated parts, such as Hawaii and Alaska...
