...order of rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Beyond that, anything more than a gold-accent belt or an evening clutch in gold thread was generally regarded as rather tacky. Now, however, the fashion industry has struck a mother lode in a new sort of metallics. The season's liveliest accessories-belts, buckles, totes, handbags, scarves, T shirts, sandals, shoes and hats-are flashing and gleaming with finishes of gold, silver, bronze, copper, pewter and even anthracite. Nor does the style show any signs of fading with the summer. In fashion salons from Paris to New York City, designers...
Gardner saves his liveliest derision for gullible scientists and science writers -particularly those who lauded Israeli Magician Uri Geller and his "unearthly ability" to bend spoons with the power of his mind. In a dazzling chapter, Gardner, an amateur prestidigitator, demonstrates a dozen methods for deceiving the credulous, including sleight of hand, palmed magnets and misdirection.

Without letters the London Times would be devoid of its liveliest pages; there would be no great literary epistles like Pope's to "Dr. Arbuthnot"no epistolary novels like Pamela and Clarissa-a minor loss, but a loss nonetheless, the loss of a form. That is what a letter is, after all: a literary form, like a sonnet. It is not as defined as a sonnet. Still one looks for things to be said in letters that...
...recording schedules, as well as their individual solo and teaching careers, Cohen, Greenhouse and Pressler remain the warmest and most personable of men. After their Harvard appearances, which are sponsored by the Winthrop House Music Society, the trio often holds a reception for students at Winthrop. Usually the liveliest people there, they sip coffee, greet fans, and chat with students as naturally and with as much real interest as they demonstrate on stage. As Tom Johnson, director of the Winthrop concert series, puts it, "These guys are incredible! They catch a plane at seven in the morning, travel across country...
