Lasch's book does falter in its line of argument occasionally, but it is, on the whole, an impressive synthetic sociological treatment of a complex and important subject. Lasch cuts a wide swath through the popular literature in the social sciences, even if he almost totally denigrates its content. Haven in a Heartless World is a provocative discussion of the problems in the social science establishment which spews forth pop psychology, and in the family lives of the millions of Americans...
Twenty years later (yesterday), Stefanian, or "Tommy" as he is known to the hundreds of Cantabrigians who feast daily on his cheese-steak subs and pearls of down-home Armenian wisdom, held forth on the subject he thinks has made all the difference to the small restaurateur over the past 20 years...

His ten-minute speech turned into a near tirade as he insisted that Israel would not go back to the "fragile, breakable, aggression-provoking and bloodshed-causing lines preceding the fifth of June 1967."

Lugt's taste...
...aren't these women smiling? Authors Nora Ephron (Crazy Salad), Erica Jong (Fear of Flying) and Francine du Piessix Gray (Lovers and Tyrants) are discussing a serious subject: women, men and money. The occasion: a Washington benefit for the Women's Campaign Fund. Gray argued that being put on a pedestal has sometimes been a severe obstacle to a woman's achieving success. Women, she said, are "the only exploited group in history who have been idealized into powerlessness." Jong agreed. "We successful women feel we are doing something unwomanly by making money," she complained. "When...
