Down the block, Cambridge Booksmith (nee Paperback Booksmith), at 25 Brattle St., is the exact opposite of the Coop. Understated and decidedly unglitzy, the Booksmith looks more like a book warehouse. But don't be fooled--its unpretentious paperback offerings are inexpensive and throrough, and bear the mark of a well-read staff...
...pursue liberalization of the economic system. On the contrary, he made the decision to restore the state security service. That triggered a catastrophic psychological development in the G.D.R. You could read it like a thermometer: every day more and more East Germans moved here. And you must bear in mind the size of the Federal Republic. It is not an enormous country, yet since Jan. 1 of this year 220,000 people have come across. That is why I said in January that we needed economic and currency union. Had I not done...
Much the same could be said about Miller's second novel, Family Pictures. The message is that women with autistic children have been made to bear the burden and the guilt for the misfortune.

After ten years the repository has spawned 111 children, with 30 more on the way, but not a single...
...summer of 1967, when Father seemed almost completely forgotten, his name suddenly cropped up again. An American news network decided to make a biographical film about him. But the Soviet side interpreted it as a provocation, a hostile move. Brezhnev couldn't bear any mention of Khrushchev's name. People like him, who are soft and weak on the one hand and vain on the other, have a peculiar way of perceiving and "processing" their bad deeds. Having done something wrong, they project their guilt onto their victim, trying in this way to justify their actions to themselves...
