...open their wallets for? Last February, after more than ten years at CBS, she was hired away by ABC for a reported $1.6 million a year. The primary lure: the chance to join Sam Donaldson as co-anchor of Prime Time Live, the new weekly show that will debut this Thursday at 10 p.m. EDT. In addition, ABC dangled occasional fill-in anchor duty on World News Tonight and Nightline. The prospect of losing Sawyer so rattled CBS's bigwigs that they virtually handed her a blank check in an effort to keep her; then, when she was irretrievably gone...

Among other screen and stage stalwarts rounding out the troupe is Charlaine Woodard (Ain't Misbehavin') as the merrily scheming...

The women work at being hip and wary but are as overmastered by virility as any Victorian maiden ("With his touch, the will seemed to drain out of her"). Susan Minot, who made a notable debut with her 1986 novel Monkeys, has a laser instinct for the clinching detail and the giveaway phrase. She can summon descriptive power when she wants it ("Clouds rose up, golden, fisted, dwarfing the islands"). But the very unity of this collection produces a sameness.
