Perhaps the toddlers, who begin their careers at home as two-year-old Raggedy Anns before graduating to become Pom-Poms, Baby Dolls, Barbie Dolls and the rest, are somewhat less eager than their mothers to extol "the need for professionalism, the need for perfection." But for the most part, the votaries tumble over themselves in their affirmation of the golden rules they have mastered. "When you say you can do something, you can do it," says Robin Snow, 15. "When you say you can't, you can't." Everywhere, giggles abound. "When you get girls together," says Shawn...
...life in Narayan's stories consists largely of people doing just what they and their ancestors have been doing for hundreds of years. They propitiate the gods as best they can. In Nitya, a couple remember a solemn vow to shave their two-year-old son's head and offer his hair as tribute if he recovers from whooping cough and convulsions. Unfortunately, the healthy young man is now 20 and in no mood to cooperate: "You had no business to pawn my scalp without consulting me." The hero of All Avoidable Talk is a clerk who learns from...

But Simcox, fed up with what he sees as government inaction in the face of lawlessness and a threat to national security, plans to do something about it. As head of a two-year-old group called the Civil Homeland Defense Corps, he is spearheading a new Minuteman Project that will place volunteers at quarter-mile intervals to watch a busy 50-mile stretch of border for the entire month of April...
...didn’t know Turpin personally, although I wish there was some way I could have. Turpin was described by friends as a strong man with a heart of gold, a man who came alive when he was with his two-year-old daughter. Nor can I claim to speak for Turpin, or any other person suffering from depression. But what I will say is that I, and many of the other people I’ve spoken with who deal with depression, do not want sympathy; we want understanding. When someone is depressed, he or she tends...
