...Soglin escaped criticism from his friends on the left. Some, pointing to the modest, $26,000 house he and his wife recently bought and to his $24,000 salary, suspect that he has gone bourgeois. Others feel that he has at least retreated from the radicalism of his student days. "There are council members who are submitting much more progressive legislation than Paul is," says Alderman Susan Kay Phillips, 29, a member of the radical Wisconsin Alliance. Even the university's Daily Cardinal, which endorsed his mayoral bid, has become critical. Soglin, it charged, has provided "mere efficiency...

...they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval.

Le Carré heightens suspense by lowering the number of suspect moles to two. The remorseless world of international...
...understandably annoyed at the way their neighborhood is being run down. They are rather more clever than you would give them credit for - short-circuiting the lights at will, squirming through air-conditioning ducts to bite the folks good night. After a while, indeed, one begins to suspect that they had a chaw or two on the wiring of the computer that picked this lot of survival candidates. There are more neurotics among them than a random sampling of subway riders would probably produce, and they are not very clever with their hands, either. In various skirmishes the percent...
