Karl F. Morrison, a Medieval scholar. He is co-author (with T.E. Mommsen) of "Imperial Lives and Letters of the 11th Century" and author of two books in press: "Carolingian Coinage" and "The Two Kingdoms: Ecclesiology in Carolingian Political Thought."

...paratroop major from the Belgian army, an Italian glassblower, a Seventh-day Adventist bookkeeper from Brazil, a Swiss electrician. From the U.S. came Polish-born Samuel Joshua Singer, 58, a onetime Yeshiva student and a former assistant attorney general of New York State. France sent a professional Scriptural scholar, Roman Catholic Abbe Raymond Seguineau, 42, who is preparing a Bible concordance; Finland's champion was blonde, blue-eyed Irja Immonen, 29, a church worker.

Knowledgeable Illinois voters have long noted Opportunist Percy's aggressive ambitions to be exceeded only by his unlimited ability to accommodate. Down with the "gentlemanly C"; for a man of proven principle and probity, I subscribe to Oxford Scholar Otto Kerner...
...most unlikely, unlovely material: scenes of common, everyday, squalid home life, with the kids sniffling, the wash on the line and mommy savaging daddy. No one, in fact, slices life with a sharper eye than Bellow. But on the whole, the new novel is disappointing. Moses E. Herzog, teacher-scholar, is everybody's door mat. Things happen to him; he does nothing. He is tossed out of his own home by his wife and her lover. He is bullied by lawyers, psychiatrists, cops, a priest and friends. At the beginning of the novel, he is at least dashing...
