McGahern has created a vivid portrait of a peaceful corner of a demanding world. An uncomfortable conversation between Ruttledge and the leader of the local IRA chapter reveals the conflict between devoting oneself to the community and confronting the outside world. “Ruttledge knew that as he was neither a follower nor a leader he must look useless or worse than useless to this man of commitment and action. As far as Jimmy Joe was concerned he might as well be listening to the birds like an eejit on the far side of the lake...
Politically-themed vacations fetched the biggest bids. A week at the Vermont retreat of Ira Jackson, Director of the Center for Business and Government, with Jackson serving pancakes every morning, brought in $3500.

George and Ira Gershwin were the first songwriters to win a Pulitzer Prize for a musical ("Of Thee I Sing"). Berlin did some work for Broadway in this period, but mainly he ground out one-off songs. You could say that he made nothing but hits and money. He talked grandly about writing a "folk opera" (Gershwin finally did); Puccini supposedly wanted to collaborate with him on an opera. But Berlin was compelled to keep writing in a form that...
