...fitness buffs by supplementing their beefy menus with salad bars and chicken sandwiches. But Sheley thinks D'Lites will be different because he designed everything with lightness in mind. His shops give an impression of upscale airiness, with their blond-wood exteriors and glass skylights. The interiors suggest a greenhouse, complete with hanging plants, brass fixtures and etched-glass partitions. Says Sheley: "I wanted to be the first chain to offer a full-range menu in a place that doesn't look plastic...
Some authors inescapably suggest animals: Hemingway is a lion, Tolstoy a bear, Colette a cat. Anthologist Stephen Brook is a crow. For The Oxford Book of Dreams he has ranged over four millenniums and most of the dry surfaces of the globe in search of recorded visions. The result is a nest of glittering curiosities, some of rare value, others plucked from the dustbin of history, where they belonged.

Men do not need a war to touch their heart of darkness, Rabe seems to suggest; the threat of human intimacy is provocation enough. Are they men like Billy (Matthew Modine), a fresh-faced lad with a college education? Or Richie (Mitchell Lichtenstein), an upper-class homosexual with a taste for taunt? Or Roger (David Alan Grier), a sweet-natured black who deflects each insult with a shrug? Or Carlyle (Michael Wright), the slum-bred black spoiling...
