...trouble was that the dead man, a George Vincent Nash, was an Indian, and White Chapel is "restricted to members of the Caucasian race." White Chapel officials insisted on sticking to the letter of the rule, even though Nash's wife, only part Indian, had been buried in the adjoining lot back in 1949. Sniffed E. Reed Hunt, president of a cemetery association that includes White Chapel: "If we made an exception in this case, some 40,000 plot owners would be able to take action against the cemetery because they paid for the restriction...
...welfare state Jane Austen, a novelist in whose hands the commonplace becomes mysteriously implausible, the routine eerily irrational. Unlike the scheming septuagenarians of her earlier novel, Memento Mori, the inhabitants of Peckham Rye are so determinedly average that they lack even the capacity to sin grandly.

Outside, Actress Mercedes Mc-Cambridge, dressed in the costume of a Golden Girl hostess, helped light fires un der ragtag groups of everyday Steven-sonites ("We'll storm that place!"). Over the years, the proper Stevensonians had saved their loftiest political scorn not for those bedrock Republicans, Adolphe Menjou and John...
...viewers with alarm were Sister Michael Marie* and Dr. Matthew Ferguson, who saw most of their cases of heat illness at St. Vincent's Hospital, among Manhattan's bakeoven brick and brownstone pueblos. Doctors have long since dropped the lay term "sunstroke" because, they note, heat can strike down a man in the shade almost as readily. Actually, say the St. Vincent's physicians, there may be a dozen forms of heat illness. Some of them "are true medical emergencies, and any hesitation or indecisiveness in their diagnosis and treatment may result in death...
