...will McDonnell Douglas Corp., the nation's largest defense contractor with 1978 sales of $4.13 billion, weather the troubles afflicting its DC-10? Investors are taking a gloomy view. Since the Chicago disaster, the company's stock has dropped from...
...personal relations are good. We have been able to exchange our views without any mental or tactical reservations, which in itself is a great asset and leads to close cooperation.

...have not had the expected: the drama of adult caperings viewed by children. Is the author simply novelizing, inventing characters and taking them for a stroll? Not really; by sunset the symbolic Sunday night, when all the characters disperse, Lurie has made a strong and subtle point. The book's '30s setting is a clue: Why not 1879? Because the author's intention is to show the narrow range of adult female behavior that was on view to a girl of four decades ago. Men were defined in terms of their jobs and women in terms...
