What the anthology lacks in depth it more than makes up in breadth. The collected figments venture from Homer: "Two gates for ghostly dreams there are: one ... of honest horn, and one of ivory" to John Updike: She repeated her dream "at breakfast. He was moved, beholding his daughter launched into another dimension of life, like school. He was touched by her tiny stock of imagery." Throughout, Brook is keenly aware of the terror and distress that reside in dreams: his categories include Nightmare, Violence, the Absurd and Frustrations.

City Lights is not silent in the strictest sense. Synchronized sound effects and music are used beginning with the very first sequence, where the talkies are burlesqued by horn sounds that make the actors seem to be talking with their mouths full of mush.

The title means a $25,000 scholarship, and in addition she will earn more than $100,000 for appearances across the nation this year.

The Syracuse University junior only competed in a local swimsuit contest last spring because a campus drama production folded. Since her crowning in Atlantic City, where she edged out the first runner-up, Miss...
Philip Caputo (A Rumor of War, Horn of Africa) is one of the more successful enhancers of the factual, largely because he writes intensely about his own experiences, which were dramatic and perilous. Caputo, 42, served with the U.S. Marine Corps in Viet Nam during the mid-'60s. He returned ten years later to cover the fall of Saigon for the Chicago Tribune. As a journalist, he also rode camels with Eritrean rebels in Ethiopia and was shot in both feet by Muslim militiamen in Beirut...
