...sort of unheroic Hemingway, Fielding has created a charmed circle and a cult. It involves rituals about food, drink and living in which everything has to be just so. It divides the world into good guys and bad?or, as Fielding has it, "givers" and "takers." His friends must all be givers?although as soon as they become his friends, they must learn to take as well, since he loves to shower them with thoughtful gifts: a favorite delicacy, a dozen fine Majorcan handkerchiefs embroidered with their signatures, a monogrammed cigarette lighter.

They recommended economic sanctions against "corporations and institutions" that practice discrimination, and said that "guerrilla fighters struggling against racist regimes must be given the support of the church if all else has been seen to fail." Under the chairmanship of Democratic Senator George McGovern of South Dakota, a Methodist lay delegate, the conference added: "The church must," in certain circumstances, "support resistance movements, including revolutions, which are aimed at the elimination of political or economic tyranny that...
