...Charlotte has lost her child, Marin, to history, and this event disrupts the complacency of her life. The newspaper accounts and pictures of Marin--this Patty Hearst-type revolutionary, who speaks over television and radio about the "fascist police" and the "class struggle"--in no way mesh with the sweet personality that Charlotte declares is Marin. Charlotte's selective memory of Marin in recent months protects her from accepting this new person, much as it protects her from ever accepting the possibility that "it" or "things" might not turn out all right...

Wuest has been running for three years and trained heavily for the past two months. After a 3:04 time in the Silver Marathon in Lowell last month, he modestly aspires to a sub-three-hour effort...
