Updike has managed this old-fashioned literary career in an era obsessed with the new. In the past, writers in the U.S. could expect to be left pretty much alone by their fellow citizens. They could blame such neglect on Philistinism or the no-nonsense approach of youthful capitalism. They might, like Melville, produce superb work and still decline into seedy obscurity. But the only one trying to keep them from writing was the wolf at the door. Even during the early decades of this century, a young William Faulkner could learn his trade unheralded and in peace...
...world energy market is "likely to remain deceptively stable through the mid-1980s." the IEA report says. And therein lies the danger, for people and governments will begin once more to neglect the energy issue and ignore pleas for continued conservation. True, gains have been made that will not easily be reversed. No one, for example, is about to rip insulation from walls or trade-in a fuel efficient compact for an oversized gas guzzler. But efforts to find alternative energy sources will diminish and conservation policies in general will take on less urgency...
Your story on the award of a contract for New York City subway cars [July 26] is somewhat misleading.

Kennedy alluded to this in Philadelphia. "Rethinking our ideas should never be an excuse for retreating from our ideals," he declared. "The last thing this nation needs hi the 1980s is two Republican parties." Mondale does not criticize the neoliberals so strongly, but he is nevertheless wary of their proposals. Says he: "You can't have a banner with a microchip...
...challenge was the one that President Reagan alluded to in his Wednesday evening press conference: how to "walk the very narrow line" between keeping the pressure on the P.L.O. to negotiate a withdrawal, and on Israel to refrain from making a devastating attack on West Beirut. To neglect the former would be to give the P.L.O. the mistaken notion that world opinion might yet save it. To neglect the latter would be to invite an Israeli bloodbath in the capital...
