...Falklands controversy is one of sheer national vanity, having nothing to do with economic or social reality [April 26]. During the past 150 years, the absence of Argentine immigrants to the islands suggests that the average Argentine does not regard the Falklands as a climatic and economic paradise. No matter whom they belonged to originally, the islands are now thoroughly British. The solution is to let the islanders decide...
...novels since The Manchurian Candidate appeared in 1962. If wit and irony could somehow neutralize villainy, the novelist would make a fine FBI director. Prizzi's Honor, like most of his books, comes sometimes too close to the truth for comfort, and it has what many may regard as a shocking end.

Too many generations came to regard him as a chill, gnomic bore, the best of American aphorists, no doubt, but also the most relentless ("A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds," "Traveling is a fool's paradise," "... fired the shot heard round the world," and even the 1960s' dreamy license, "Do your thing"). His fatally worthy subjects (Self-Reliance, Prudence, Friendship) have oppressed generations of eighth-grade English classes. People should...
