...students, the award comes after a year of filling out applications, interviews and just plain waiting...
...nonjury trial put flesh on once abstract matters. It made plain the almost palpable tenderness of Stern and his wife Elizabeth, a pediatrician, both 41, and the no less compelling attachment of Whitehead, 29, and her husband Richard, 37, a sanitation worker.
