...Save a Life. The victim's parents sued the university, the psychologist and two hospital psychiatrists for $200,000 for failing to warn them or her about Poddar's threat. Alameda County Superior Court found no grounds for the suit, but the state supreme court's new ruling sends the case back to trial. Substance of that ruling: confidentiality between therapist and patient must yield "when a warning is necessary to prevent a violent attack." Moreover, therapists could be liable to civil damages, unless it can be shown that "sound professional judgment" was used...
...DOES BROWN plan to save everyone? After running through the usual homilies about understanding and international cooperation he gets down to specifics.

This is a remarkably good example of what The Crimson has told us it abhors only a few paragraphs before--"simplistic--but useful--political analysis...
...Save for a few anecdotes about Marlon Brando, the novel skimps on backstage gossip and theatrical lore. One of Sonny's more probing thoughts about his profession is "Crap's better in an English accent." Maybe. Laurence Olivier reading The Understudy aloud might improve it, but not enough...
