...gods torment Hali by causing him to witness his mother's death. Even Hali's love, Rooh (Maura Moynihan), dies. Halie tires of these divine pranks and challenges the gods. He renounces their influence. He discards his belief in them, so they no longer can control his mind. Hali takes his own life in the end, proving to the gods that he is master of his own destiny. But he also proves that he cannot live without the dreams and visions, good or bad, that the gods provide. Bonsey's death is quick and shocking, far removed from drawn...

...Americans working abroad-and made both provisions retroactive on income earned earlier in the year. The Finance Committee voted to make those provisions apply only to income earned in 1977 and later years. "Retroactivity is against the spirit of the American Constitution," boomed New York Democrat Daniel P. Moynihan, who helped lead the move. People who are now filling out Form 1040 probably would be well advised not to claim the sick-pay exclusion: it is not at all certain that the Moynihan proposal will become law. Should it do so, taxpayers who have already sent in 1976 returns...
