MARRIED. Michael Howland, 36, State Department foreign service officer and one of the 52 hostages held captive for 444 days in Iran, and Joan Walsh, 36, also a State Department foreign service officer and hostage, although for only 16 days, after which she, some other women and blacks were released; he for the second time, she for the first; in Ogden, Utah. The couple met when both were assigned to the U.S. embassy in Iran and became reacquainted when both were assigned to State Department jobs in Washington...

With a roving eye for bawdy detail, Spyker (pseudonym for Poet and Novelist Richard Elman) compresses each life into a tidy epiphany; an individual is captured with an anecdote or gesture, an eccentricity or epitaph. Judge Fury collected wives and knives; "P.C.B." Terry, who once took a swig of that carcinogenic chemical, spent the rest of his life growing tomatoes that no one else dares to eat. Hypolite Hargrove made a small...
