...interviewer who has dropped out to do some soul searching in Southern California; a woman writer with the disconcerting habit of throwing her voice at crucial emotional moments; a dim-bulb movie star and her producer paramour, who keeps his wealth in a sock drawer and begins too many sentences with the phrase entre nous: these are the featured players in New York Disc Jockey Jonathan Schwartz's resonant first novel. At a glance, it may seem another tour of Joan Didion's empty existential horizons -damaged people failing to communicate in a dry land. But Schwartz...

Not simply smiles, but wistful smiles...
...court ruled the aptitude was too low for the defendent to determine the waiver of his rights after his arrest. Hines has an IQ of 39. The judge overruled Mims' point. The rape victim--who weighs over 200 pounds to Hines' 120--said the assailant wore a sock over his face. The jury found Hines guilty and the judge sentenced him to 30 years imprisonment. Hines grinned as the cameras flashed...
