Nicky, on the other hand, has at least one foot planted in the world. He permits others to enter his life as more than mere objects to be gotten around. When his close friend Bruce is killed in a demonstration on the West Coast, he abjectly mulls over the meaning of death--Lesley fails to attend the funeral.

Bork opposed the release of such papers, not on the ground of separation of powers or mere Executive privilege, as is being argued by the White House on the tapes case. Instead, he cited a case in which the N.A.A.C.P. was permitted to preserve the privacy of its membership lists because the Supreme Court concluded that releasing the lists would have a "chilling effect" on the members...
