...feeling that inflation is inevitable may finally be giving way to a touch of welcome uncertainty. In Paris last week, Federal Reserve Board Governor Andrew F. Brimmer predicted that the economy's real growth, which reached 5% last year, would slow to a rate of 3% or less by the end of this year.

...take it or leave it. Many middle-income people are forced out just as surely as if they had been evicted, and it does not take long to find a new tenant in what is very much a landlords' market.

Like the wily trapdoor spider, which retires to digest its kill behind a neat disklike door attached to its nest, Iris Murdoch is seldom visible, or visibly partisan, in her work. In Bruno's Dream, however, she seems more compassionately bemused than usual, though no less severely aware than ever that men and women are foolish creatures who neither know the world for what it is, nor themselves for what it makes of them...
