...PROPOSAL now before the Law School faculty that would make the terms for repayment of student loans easier represents a significant first step toward reducing the pressure on Law School students to seek jobs in high-paying firms.

But she does cite some of Pasternak's letters to third parties that are full of praise for Zinaida: "I owe my life to her," the writer declared after a long illness. At times, Ivinskaya tends to confuse art and life. She often asserts that particular lines in Pasternak's work refer specifically to her. In his overwhelmingly expressive portrait of Lara, Pasternak offered no other physical description of his heroine than a mention of "strong, white, woman's arms." Ivinskaya would have been well...
