When breaking records in the swimming pool, most of the attention he received related to his vegetarian diet. Rose's strict regimen stemmed from a family commitment to natural food and was always the subject of much speculation...
...CARTER'S REGIMEN of pain and discipline is designed to ease inflation by slowing the economy, at the price of lost jobs and government programs. But he is accepting this price with little hope of achieving anything but the appearance of action. A "senior Administration official" told The New York Times, "The balancing of the budget will not have an immediate impact on inflation, nor will the other actions."

...some degree, the blacks were voting for a cause and a symbol rather than a candidate. Mugabe has little personal magnetism. He lacks the easy humor and earthiness of Nkomo, and seems temperamentally unsuited to the rough and tumble of African politics.

People in these stories are self-maimed, and get treated accordingly. The artistic regimen is ascetic. "Talmudic Law," one of her characters explains, "forbids the overdecorated letter, a letter for art's sake and not for the formation of legible words." Nothing is overdecorated here; Greenberg spends little time telling where her characters live or what they look like. In one story, a parent...
