...billions of dollars being wasted by the Pentagon; an isolationist suggests that perhaps it is better to feed the starving thousands in America than to kill the starving millions elsewhere in the world; an isolationist believes that not everyone in the free world wants the U.S. to play mother hen, a role that we have played miserably since World War II. I guess I'm an isolationist, and proud...
...splendor of Britain's royal heritage will be unfurled for an estimated 500 million television viewers next week as Queen Elizabeth journeys to Caernarvon Castle in North Wales to invest Charles as Prince of Wales. The title has been Charles' since his mother announced, when he was only nine, her intention of awarding it to him. The investiture will mark his formal installation.

There are no European princesses about who seem to be the right age, and he is?in theory at least?free to marry just about anyone as long as she is an undivorced...
Hello Out There? Ten years ago. in his first novel, Evan S. Connell created a brilliant portrait of one inhabitant of this psychic heartland, Mrs. India Bridge, mother of three, wife of a successful Kansas City lawyer. Written as a sequence of linked vignettes, Mrs. Bridge showed a remorseless accuracy and a comic sense powerful enough to reduce its subject to her feckless gist. (In the final scene, she has managed to get stuck inside her own garage. She is last seen tapping on the car window with the ignition key as she calls, to no one, "Hello? Hello...
