Lincoln said, "There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law." If law and order is removed, nothing will prevent the racial discord within America from turning into a civil war, White against Black. This can be no man's dream; it is a nightmare. Eugene L. Herzog...

Cesare Pavese, who died a suicide at 42 in 1950, was probably Italy's most honored postwar writer, though he remains virtually unknown to U.S. readers. This collection of four novels ought to redress that situation. The translation is fluent, and each work bears the distinctive Pavesean coat of arms...

Fathers & Sons. If the government felt disposed to redress any grievances, there was no sign of it in Warsaw. Police turned a water-gun truck and tear-gas launchers on the mob, waded into its midst with rubber truncheons and hustled some 300 off to police headquarters.

...least one thing can be said for the Cambridge city government: it smashes constitutional rights only selectively. The freedom of peaceable assembly that bug eyed suburbanites and teeny boppers use to redress their grievances each weekend in Harvard Square has never caused much of a stir down at City Hall. Even though the weekend gapers stop traffic, dirty the sidewall, cram the Coop, and induce claustrophobia, they obviously have redeeming social--and economic--value. A small circulation magazine that socks it to the powers that be, in the very language those powers use in their back rooms, is another matter...
