...finally, "Radcliffe represents flexibility"--flexibility in response to the large array of sometimes apparently conflicting or mutually exclusive demands and roles in a woman's life: career, home, husband, children, volunteer causes. A woman's educational system can consider more paths to the goal of education than the traditional male routine has permitted. Today when both men and women are reassessing traditional education, Radcliffe's history of efforts to respond with flexibility to women's needs allows her to assume leadership in the entire re-assessing process...
Casey's campaign is equipped with the standard props -- cynical Irish father, devout Catholic mother, crazy aunts, WASP college roommates, leftist Jewish professors, a hard-boiled campaign manager, sex-crazed secretaries. Only Casey himself stands out from this familiar array.

The long hiatus leaves our understanding of Casey hopelessly incomplete...

At least he thinks he is. Before four consecutive nominating conventions, he confidently expects to be the Republican candidate. Who is the character modeled after? Capote coyly refuses...
Throughout the year, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston produces an impressive array of chamber concerts. On Tuesday the 10th, baroque flutist Carol Epple will lead a program at the Museum. She is a very good player and can prove that ancient instruments do not have to be played out of tune. Incidentally, admission to the Museum is free on Tuesdays from 5 until 9: a good chance to look around before hearing the concert...
