...Sierra Club. That is wrong. The Headwaters Agreement is the last best hope to save the Headwaters redwoods and end more than 10 years of bitter controversy. The plan will protect the environment of the area surrounding the Headwaters as well as the fish and wildlife that inhabit those lands. The product of more than two years of negotiations with state and federal officials, it is the most comprehensive conservation and resource-management plan ever proposed for private forest lands. That is why the agreement has nearly universal support. JOHN A. CAMPBELL, President and CEO Pacific Lumber Co. Scotia, Calif...
...haven't heard in Washington lately.) But another question is admissible: Why do Washington opinion leaders seem to have more trouble than average Americans imagining themselves in Clinton's shoes? Oddly, the problem may be that they consider Clinton a peer. Clinton and the politicos and the pundits all inhabit the same basic social arena. And social proximity makes detachment difficult.

Sadly, life and art could never coincide in Dog Days, as life for Reilly and his cohorts is too predictable. At one point Reilly wishes that he and his girlfriend could be a happy couple, "the kind you see in an Eddie Bauer catalogue, healthy and well-scrubbed nondysfunctional Eddie Bauer couples do." If only Reilly realized how close he and his little clique were to the so-called Eddie Bauer ideal...
...have all the time in the world to consider the complexities of psychology, and each story tells a truthful tale about some kind of a momentous change in interpersonal situation. The personality of each character dwells in the depths of meaning, and, even if the worlds the characters inhabit might teeter towards the fanciful, they relate to the every day of the common man with the help of Byers' unvarnished narrative skills...
