...like so much hand luggage. Nicholas Nickleby-back now through the New Year by popular demand and virtually sold out even before it opened-is more than an event or a spectacle.

Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), Jimmy Carter and the rest should be thanked--draft registration will wake up another generation, start them wondering about our world.
