...arrived at O'Hare Airport last week with a smile, a wave and a corny line: "I feel so welcome, I bought a one-way ticket." Welcome he was. The 2,374,000 member Archdiocese of Chicago celebrated as Joseph Louis Bernardin, 54, proceeded through the weeklong round of rites that marked his installation as archbishop. Already one of U.S. Roman Catholicism's handful of most important leaders, Bernardin (pronounced Burr-nuh-deen) is taking charge of the nation's largest archdiocese. In time he will be named a Cardinal, the first in the U.S. of Italian...
Literalists who try to track down such matters will find that Fowles, presumably the only one with the answers, has disappeared, leaving the slim trace of a smile between the lines. Mantissa is a jeu d 'esprit with a vengeance, its principal characters, like so many of Fowles' earlier creations, held in thrall by forces they cannot quite explain.

Many Lebanese react nonchalantly to the Israeli presence. They fondly recite the long list of foreign armies that have conquered and occupied Lebanon over the past 3,000 years.

The self-proclaimed racist lives in virtual solitary confinement at the federal penitentiary in Marion, Ill., serving life terms for the 1980 slaying of two black joggers in Salt Lake City. Earlier this year, he says, he was stabbed 15 times by six black prisoners. But last week in a federal courtroom in South Bend, Ind., Franklin smiled at jurors and flashed a V-for-victory sign. They had just found him not guilty of violating the civil rights of former National Urban League President Vernon Jordan, who was wounded...
...make a muscle, son." A sunny summertime vision out of the Norman Rockwell past. Dad, middleaged, healthy and proud, wears the smile of a successful Little League coach. Bobby or Timmy or Pete, a freckle-faced 9 or 10, crooks his slim arm and strains to pop that first bicep. To the side is a Betty Crocker mom, beaming at her new young man. And off in the back, pug nose sniffing in disdain, is Kid Sis. "Boys' games!" her elfin derision seems to say. "Showing you're strong. Proving yourself. Making a muscle ? eeeeeuuuuu...
