...plenty of problems." Gordimer's Get a Life, published this month in Britain and the U.S., is a good example. It's the story of Paul Bannerman, an ecologist and antinuclear campaigner in his mid-thirties who, ironically, becomes temporarily radioactive after treatment for thyroid cancer. This "lit-up leper" is a menace to his young son and his wife, an advertising executive. So he moves into an empty wing of his parents' home.

Pasquarello did not return requests for comment last night. The intersection of Appian Way and Garden Street lies opposite the dimly-lit Cambridge Common and only a short walk away from various Graduate School of Education (GSE) buildings. GSE student Cynthia Lee, who works at nearby Gutman Library, said that she considers Cambridge Common somewhat unsafe. “I feel safe everywhere except for the Common because I hear it?...
