Watchers of the China phenomenon are divided into two groups: a majority, which maintains diplomatic relations with Peking and therefore has entree to the country; and others, like the Americans, who must gaze at China from the Hong Kong end of the Lo Wu Bridge. These three books offer views from both sides of the checkpoint...

The golfers will compete in the NCAA's next week...

A quartet of music critics, bearing bouquets of flowery superlatives, utters the rousing paean, These Tired Ears Lo at Long Last Rejoice. They praise Beverly's performance in The Tales of Hoffmann-in which she portrays all three heroines. They worship her Cleopatra in Handel's Julius Caesar, a role whose vocal acrobatics are so demanding that the opera is rarely performed...
