...specter of Leopold Bloom haunts this book... The easiest entry into its rhythms and movement is to recall the Bloomsday odyssey. I go out into the alien world, hard fearful, lonely. My afternoon stroll passes Sandymount strand: lustful, yearning, fleshy, I descend into a blasphemous bedeviled Nighttown.... and then I wander home...
...Chinese pastry, including panfried dumplings, spicy noodles, chopped-meat buns and fried crullers. About 1,500 people are expected to pack the moderately-sized, home-decorated restaurant on the corner of Prospect Street and Broadway (about a 15 minute walk from Gund Hall on Broadway, or a five-minutes stroll from the Central Square subway exit up Prospect Street).

...always seemed to be a cold, remote bureaucrat. But he set the country on its ear at his very first presidential press conference, declaring: "I aim first of all to dust off the republic." That is precisely what he has done. From his low-keyed inauguration and his subsequent stroll along the Champs-Elysées, Giscard has launched an all-out effort to stamp his presidency as young, relaxed, liberal and open...
