When violations of Title VII occur, federal courts are authorized to "order such affirmative action as may be appropriate," including reinstatement of employees, and back pay.

This god's-eye view tends to blur more than it clarifies. "English settlement ... came somewhat later than depicted," says an exasperating prefatory note to Chesapeake, which also mentions that Steed and Turlock are invented names, "but it did occur at a spot only 23 miles to the north." Fiction with heavy doses of reality and reportage is not precisely history; history in which the names and places are not quite right is not yet fiction.

...were unable to manufacture and install it. Hitler decided to in vade Russia with no real knowledge of the Soviet economy or military machine (the Germans were unaware of the existence of the T-34, the war's best tank, and never quite believed that D-day would occur at Normandy).

Precious few incidents occur. Marianne, 30, decides that Bruno, her well-to do executive husband, will some day leave her, so she throws him out on the spot. Then she takes long walks through nearby woods, through an unnamed West German city and through the halls and rooms of her rented house. A friend asks her to join what seems to be a women's consciousness-raising group, but Marianne does not. She works at a translation of a French book about a woman trying to achieve independence; if there is a message here for Marianne, she does...
