...college, refusing to have a baby, reading through the New York Times wedding pages, working as a bar tender constantly apart from the customers. Each of these experiences is one of separation, of losing touch with humanity, each is a symbol of loneliness and sadness, sometimes even regret or despair. At the heart of this dehumanizing sentiment lies New York, and one cannot avoid the feeling that the authors are trying to blame their unhappiness on the city itself as if the buildings, the dark allies, the cabbies or the glamorous but cold parties were the root of every human...
...Clinton has been surefooted on the issue so far. Without committing to a specific plan--he knows that endorsing one now would doom it--he has been leading town-hall meetings around the country. In January he proposed devoting the entire budget surplus to the problem (something he may regret now that the cigarette money is gone), an approach that last week won the support of Republican Senators Pete Domenici and Phil Gramm.

After years of expressing regret quietly in Japan, Chu-Ki-Nren members are seeking to apologize to American audiences, but Washington's ban on visas for war criminals is preventing them. Convinced, however, that the group's regrets should be heard, RABBI ABRAHAM COOPER, associate dean at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, has organized...
