...keeps books on India, Soviet Russia and the atom in his cottage. Parkin is a rough, laconic collier's son who can understand neither his own mean circumstances nor the sources of Connie's passion for him. Lawrence lacked Thomas Hardy's gift for making the inner lives of simple people eloquent, but at least this Parkin makes the reader aware of the social chasm that Connie Chatterley proposed to cross.

Over the past few years of student unrest, boarded-up storefronts and broken glass on sidewalks have given some campus communities the look of inner-city ghettos. Now, as another college term approaches, merchants are preparing for the worst. Around the Berkeley campus of the University of California, for example, a group of store owners is organizing a credit association to help members whose property may be damaged by youthful protesters.
