...brouhaha resulted from a free-form and free-floating three-part series by Post Staff Writer Sally Quinn, who is known in Washington for her withering (some would say bitchy) profiles of prominent personalities. She outdid herself with the Brzezinski series, which contains a few blatantly smirky and sophomoric passages. She began the first installment with an account of how he had used sexual innuendo to rebuff her requests for an interview.

To put it in the language of physics, there was conservation of baryon number...

Author Read is best known in the U.S. as the author of Alive, a nonfiction account of how some Uruguayan survivors of a plane crash in the Andes resorted to cannibalism to survive; his six previous novels, far less sensational, deserve more readers than they have received, and his latest may be his best. No one now writing has achieved quite the same equipoise between malaise and morality, ideas and emotions. In this tale of human imperfectibility, the devil gets...
