Four continents, three children, and as many colleges later than that first trans-cultural entry into higher education at a tender 15, I am soon to be entered in the rolls of the academically adept. Yet I quail before the suggestics that I might not belong in the more 'legitimate' learning atmosphere of our college-age young...
...many ways a dirty book," Anthony Burgess once warned in the columns of the Yorkshire Post. "Those of my readers with tender stomachs are advised to leave it alone." Critic Burgess, as it happened, was reviewing a novel called Inside Mr. Enderby, ostensibly written by one Joseph Kell but actually the work of a prolific British writer named Anthony Burgess...
...goalie's risks better than the Philadelphia Flyers' Bernie Parent. "You don't have to be crazy to be a goalie," says Parent, "but it helps." If so, Parent must be crazier than most.

Mary Mendelson, a Cleveland community-planning consultant, exposed the industry's seamy side last spring in her well-researched book Tender Loving Greed (TIME, June 3). Last week nursing homes were once again under scrutiny, this time by federal and state investigators. In Manhattan, a subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging opened hearings into charges of abuses and irregularities in New York nursing homes and got a glimpse...
