There were still more than 1,500 American boats of all sizes waiting last week with restless crews and anxious relatives in Cuba's single refugee embarkation port of Mariel, 27 miles west of Havana. Those skippers who are finally permitted to load and sail under Castro's slow and erratic selection of exiles will have greater U.S. protection on the sometimes perilous 110-mile voyage than those hapless earlier captains whose boats were swamped by high winds.

Meryl Streep, playing a restless housewife trying to find fulfillment, has walked out on her marriage to Dustin Hoffman, a hustling young Manhattan adman, leaving him with their young son; 18 months later she wins custody of the child despite the husband's devotion to the boy during her long absence. In the real...
...exotic characters. Novelist Keeble, 35, a teacher and rancher from Medical Lake, Wash., is out to evoke an entire region. His eastern Washington, "a country of high desert, sage brush, pine, rivers and basalt extrusion," is a palimpsest of Indian legend, the ragged footprints of pioneers and the restless ghosts of Joaquin Miller, Frank Norris and Jack London...
