These multiple perspectives inform Cambridge, his fourth and best selling novel so far, recently reissued in paperback. A historical novel set in the early 19th century, the book narrates the journey of the Englishwoman Emily Cartwright to an unnamed Caribbean is land to look after affairs on her father's plantation estate. Part of the book is told from her point of view, part from that of an educated, African-born Christian slave named Cambridge...
...James Dobson, a child psychologist whose daily radio show, Focus on the Family, dispenses advice over 1,200 stations. Among mainline dropouts and seekers the star is Connecticut psychiatrist M. Scott Peck, who fused the psychological with the spiritual in The Road Less Traveled, a New York Times paperback best seller for a record 490 weeks.

At its bottom line, the proposal promised to halve the nation's deficit by 1996, an assessment many considered sober and even courageous because it backed off Clinton's earlier intention to wipe out the red ink entirely by the end of his first term. But even this modified deficit- reduction promise owed little to Clinton...
