...Congratulations on your baby. But since you want this baby to have all the time and care you are able to give, you probably prefer not to have another too soon." In the past year, 14,000 pamphlets with these words have been sent to Ohio parents in and around Toledo. The sender: Toledo's Planned Parenthood League. Last December, soon after his tenth child was born, William Kunisch, a Roman Catholic mailman, received such a pamphlet in his own mail, promptly decided that a rebuttal was needed. With the help of his wife and the advice of Father...
Once upon a time, and a very leisurely time it was, a novel resembled a sheaf of obituary notices; it took various characters from the cradle to the grave and firmly left them there. Nowadays, when a novel may resemble anything from an unrhymed poem to an unprintable pamphlet or an analyst's case book, there is something refreshing about this old-style trilogy (its component novels were published in the U.S. more than a decade ago, but this is the first U.S. publication of all three in a package).

"I find it farfetched and fantastic to read anything into it other than the fact that several party registration switches were involved." By week's end it was clear that Christopher's charges had not hurt Goodie's chances at all: he won the full convention's endorsement...
...Self-Exile Marson is finding plenty to do away from his classroom. He is writing a book and a pamphlet expanding his attacks on the nation's schools. This summer, as he has for the past three decades, Marson will run his boys' camp in New Hampshire. But next fall, his critique of American education squarely on the record. Schoolmaster Marson hopes to be back in a classroom giving his fact-packed lectures on Shakespeare and syntax that so well prepared his Boston Latin boys for college...
