After working for Radcliffe following her graduation, Iarrobino moved to Ireland, where she lived for several years.

...time and geography, Cope, Idaho, is about as far as you can get from Lincolnian Washington or Edwardian Ireland. But The Noble Enemy (Doubleday; 384 pages; $12.50), set in that no-horse town, is also about death, deceit, love and survival.

On cooperating with the British, Haughey said that Ireland's own forces are "totally capable of dealing with security matters." He dismissed as "inadequate" Britain's latest proposals to end the Ulster violence, including an all-party conference of Catholic and Protestant leaders. Small wonder that the news from Dublin left London fearful that "more difficult" times...
