GREENSTONE, by Sylvia Ashton-Warner. Maori and British-descended New Zealanders come together in a graceful parable of age and childhood, mysticism and reality, told with talent enough to create a subtle celebration of life...
...American Revolution was something else again. It was free of that special form of impatience-oversimplified ideology. Never had such forbearance and such a talent for political compromise been demanded of a body politic as the power-wary, pragmatic Founding Fathers required of the citizens of the United States of America.

Healing & Dealing. Yet somehow, beset with profit fever, talent anemia, labor pains, galloping costitis and an acute customer deficiency, the Fabulous Invalid staggers into her spurious finery every fall.

Campbell will control Jersey's European budgeting, marketing and long-range planning. He will direct such supranational Esso activities as its interest in the new Trans-Alpine Pipeline, will even venture into high policy in such matters as contacts with the European Common Market about the new six-nation energy policy that the Common Market is developing...
