But these complaints pale in comparison with the even more dangerous changes that crack triggers in the body. Crack, says Masi, "throws the entire cardiovascular system into turmoil. Your blood vessels rapidly constrict. You're a key candidate for respiratory failure."

Not a false note sounds in these recordings of sorrow and sudden grace. Deborah Eisenberg's characters are a unique amalgam of the brave and antic; they regard difficulties seriously, but not themselves. In their perceptions and urban locutions, they might be the daughters of J.D. Salinger's women...
