...doors soon after a settlement, it is unlikely to do so unless an agreement is reached quickly. Lead singers were released from their contracts on Sept. 30, and many of them doubtless will sign with other companies. "You could get a domino situation," says Baritone Sherrill Milnes. "The famous tend to bump the less famous, all down the line." After another dispute with the orchestra that led to a three-month shutdown in 1969, the Met did start up in midseason. But its performances suffered because many leading singers had already signed elsewhere. This time, says the Met, there will...

Not everybody in this book wants to be thought of as a cowboy poking along into the sunset. They tend to value--even rely on--community much more than Americans are supposed to. Take, for example, Sam Lopez, a former gang member, who reformed and eventually became director of a program for ex-offenders. Like many others, he cannot achieve personal satisfaction until he has helped others; he doesn't come off at all preachy, only determined to see that...

Harley Hartung of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston found that the marathoners had the highest level of HDL. Other factors may be at work; marathoners tend to be relaxed, eat healthful foods, not smoke and stay thin...
