...should be. One judges Mr. Kazin by his own high standards: his first, best book On Native Grounds, a study of American literature from then to now, is one of the finest brief surveys of the field, comprehensive yet insightful, carefully thought-out but delightfully without a theory to hawk, Kazin has traveled far on the reputation this book gained for him; unhappily, he has not reached its level in any of his later books, and Contempories marks no departure from this disappointing history.

Yacoub is better known as hawk-nosed, ham-on-wry Danny Thomas, 48, Michigan-born son of a Lebanese farmer who left Hasroun at the turn of the century to raise a family of ten children...
...training for missile-era airmen and ground troops-something neither Cape Canaveral nor White Sands is equipped to do. Aircraft squadrons fire their air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles over the PMR's vast instrumentation almost every morning. Marine Corps antiaircraft missile battalions set up their Hawk batteries on the offshore islands of Santa Barbara Channel and fire away at the PMR-launched drones.
