...ground to get from the domestic and industrious woman of the pre-industrial era in England and America to the Cosmopolitan woman of the 1970s. Although they have a flair for interesting detail, they don't offer enough rigorous evidence to qualify as scholarly literature. Tending to linger over obvious cases of misguided science like the gory methods doctors used in the 19th century to 'cure' their patients or the moral weaknesses of contemporary pop psychology, the authors gloss over some of the more complex issues...
Camp David clearly improved Carter's standing with Congress and the public. "My reputation as a capable leader was enhanced," he said, quite deadpan, at his press conference. But the spirit of Camp David will not linger indefinitely, and Carter will have to prove his leadership many times over in the battles that lie ahead with Congress...
...longer in Kansas City than anywhere else, they just seem that way. For when the snow flies, there is too much time to reflect on the annual sadness of autumn, the fact that the Royals have again lost the American League pennant in the playoffs. Two images linger in the mind: Yankee Chris Chambliss hitting the home run in 1976 that beat the Royals in the final inning of the final game, and, in 1977, Royals' Shortstop Fred Patek openly and unashamedly weeping while he sat alone on the bench after another final-game loss to the Yankees.

Begin, for example, intends to remain in the U.S. for four days and tape at least one TV discussion.

Whether it succeeds or fails, the Camp David summit will set the course for much of what is soon to happen...
...anything like these visionary schemes will ever be possible. Indeed, for all the enthusiasm about black holes, some doubts about their very existence linger. But the current intellectual ferment about them transcends the importance of both their reality and practicality. Just by thinking on such a grand scale, humanity not only enlarges its universe but expands and ennobles itself. Perhaps the ideal metaphor is not Piglet's Heffalump but Browning's famous declamation: "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,/ Or what's a heaven for." To the growing fraternity of black-hole theorists, that cosmic vision...
