Suslov, the article mentioned, was never captive to the ideology of the Soviet Union. With the ease of a charioteer covering dead-laden ground, Suslov survived Stalin's purges and reached the Soviet hierarchy's highest plane of power. Widely acknowledged as the kingmaker to the Communist party's inner circle, Suslov was instrumental in the ascendency of Chairman Nikita Khruschev to power in 1958, and again for his downfall in 1964. The many machinations of power politics never seemed to daunt the Soviet minister, whose ferocity found outlet for endeavor in uncounted tasks during the more than 40 years...
Boston Bureau Chief Barry Hillenbrand found an encouraging growth in the high-technology industries in his area. "The companies that used to cluster along Route 128, the inner Boston beltway," he says, "now stretch all the way to Route 495, the beltway 20 miles farther out." Correspondent Frederick Ungeheuer, who reported the story from New York, admires entrepreneurs who broke away from older corporations to set up their own shops. "They have done themselves and the U.S. economy a real service," he says...
Without his writing, his only lifeline to sanity and order, Kafka's life might have ended in suicide or madness. But Kafka's fiction, as Hayman consistently show, was an outlet for his self-destructive fantasies and aggressive impulses, an ongoing psychotherapy.

THERE IS LITTLE to find fault with in Hayman's presentation. Sticking closely to Kafka's letters and diaries, which together form a most extensive record of his inner life, and quoting liberally therefrom, he is not obtrusive. His analytical passages seem to have been inserted into the narrative with maximum concern for short. American attention spans; they are humble and mostly insightful, free of excessive jargon-mongering, aware of the crushing bulk of Kafka criticism and content to suggest the clearest connections to the immediate moment of his life. If there are any complaints, they are that...
Interior Designer Louis Tregre, 57, presented a line of Sola ceramic dinnerware, designed to help people suffering from poor vision, crippling arthritis, the loss of a hand or misperception of distances. The dishes have a deep, straight inner edge to hold the food pushed against it. Cup handles are reshaped for a full grasp, even by shaky hands. Some cups and saucers have two handles. Saucers are indented to hold cups firmly in place. The dinnerware is conventionally decorated. Says Tregre: "You can't force contemporary designs on a health-care home. The folks want friendly and familiar surroundings...
