...chaos of the universe, the power of the imagination becomes the important thing. In "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Terris," a beneficent secret society of scholars formulates, over three centuries, an imaginary planet. The 40-volume encyclopedia describing Tlon--man's most vast undertaking--is discovered in a Memphis, Tenn., library in 1944.

They feel she was a pretty lucky girl to get such a promising young man. I feel that way too." At the A. Philip Randolph Institute in New York City, headquarters of the intellectual Bayard Rustin, the comment for publication was "mazel tov." Institute staffers...
