...would dearly love to return to Poland a second time in 1982 for the 600th anniversary of the installation of the Black Madonna at Czestochowa, and at the shrine he made a teasing reference to this hope. He said that the Prefect of the Pontifical Household and the Chief of Vatican Protocol were "novices" in Poland but "they must get used to it." These are officials who must accompany a Pope on trips. A return would be subject to another round of negotiations with the regime, and, as the Pope twice suggested during his tour, the Polish government had kept...
...love story that is laughable. The young man is enamored of Ali MacGraw, who is as pretty an older woman as she was a younger woman and, regrettably, is the same hopeless actress she has always been. It would require talent of a high order to make her role believable, however. She is supposed to be an international tycoon's kept woman. Unfortunately he keeps her very far away- in Mexico, while he is on a yacht off Monte Carlo. When he calls, she jumps, and all this abrupt, unexplained commuting takes its toll on Martin. A decent director...
Another curious effect of the editors' new self-consciousness is that some of them have grown sensitive about how often the press cries wolf over the First Amendment.

(He's not grateful either when newspaper accounts invariably recall that Mr. Justice White was once better known to you and me as Whizzer White, football star.) But each court attempt to redefine...

A lecturer at Pace University and a poet, she compresses a lifetime of births and deaths and suffering and love into just 181 pages. Her prose deftly captures the cadences of ghetto speech (by turns garrulous, captious, earth-smart), and her spare imagery avoids all sentimentality. Instead, as its biblical title suggests, Let the Lion Eat Straw is a graceful hymn of love...
...defined in terms of their jobs and women in terms of their men-or lack of them. Celia was an adman's wife; insecurity was her way of life. Honey had nothing to do except tease. Anna, the strongest adult around, was considered eccentric because she believed that love was a trap. Little Mary Ann went home with sour choices ahead of her, and a headful of dissatisfactions that would not come clear until she herself was middleaged. The novel is a sketch of these hurts in their nascent state, and it is surprisingly forceful...
