...self-help of the title refers only very tangentially to the mass-market platitudes of the subgenere whose parameters are delimited by the disparate likes of Normal Vincent Peale and Alex (joy of sex) Comfort The idea of the self-help manual provides Moore with her most potent and original stylistic device: six of the nine stories in the book are cast in that least-employed from of narrative, yhe second person, The irony, of course, is that this form of address comes not by way of advice and is not at all directed towards the reader Far from being...
...Religious history books will be talking about Schuller 100 years from now," contends Religious Historian Dennis Voskuil. The question, Voskuil says, is whether he will be remembered as a theologian or a showman.

No other woman...
Labor officials helped Walter Mondale win the Democratic presidential nomination last year. Now the presidents of three federal unions have learned that their support may cost them their Government jobs. Kenneth T. Blaylock of the American Federation of Government Employees, Moe Biller of the American Postal Workers Union and Vincent R. Sombrotto of the National Association of Letter Carriers were told to resign or retire from federal employment by Feb. 26 or face charges under the 1939 Hatch Act, which bars federal employees from "partisan political advocacy." The advisory was issued by the Office of the Special Counsel, the enforcement...
