Madame Nadine is as different from Madame Rosa as Momo is, or so she seems. On the exterior Madame Rosa is not excessively warm though she is certainly attached to Momo. Nor is Momo particularly emotional, either. Rather, their appearances reflect little while Madame Nadine, on the other hand, is nothing but appearances. She acts overly concerned, but it is only an act. Like her children who send Momo fleeing by calling him an Arab she is no more than fascinated by what he is. She listens to his story, and records it, but when he runs...
...bravely ventured this far, she risks a glance at the other guilty ones. To her astonishment, Harvard beach is littered with uninhabited tennis shoes, crewneck sweaters and T-shirts--even with unread textbooks and blank paper passively but menacingly there. It appears people will do anything to feel the warm caress of the sun on their creepy, winter-whitened, fish-belly flesh. On her right, a young man who had been complaining about his work, hoping to impress the girl next to him with brilliant talent for procrastination, has actually begun to play a harmonica and toss a frisbee simultaneously...

The contestants had to wear life jackets; helmets were optional. To keep warm in the splash of 38° F. water, many also donned black rubber wet suits similar to those used by scuba divers. To keep track of all the confusion, local ham operators broadcast messages up and down the course...
...religious novels sell like hot cakes, or even warm wafers. Yet three current novels are attracting not only critical attention but also big sales (big enough, in one case, to make a bestseller list). All are written by authors who have departed from the clergy or the Christian faith, whether with fondness or fury. Unlike the dropout novelists who used to probe spiritual angst, these religious refugees concoct unholy plots that scarcely show church and clergy at their best. Witness the story line of each...
