...protester, world traveler and Buddhist. Ginsberg's style harks back to the tradition of popular speech, jazz rhythms and strong imagery. The energy never flags, but the quality is wildly uneven. There are love poems that read like high parodies of rest-room scrawl. Howl, once effective as counterculture manifesto, is now an unconvincing historical oddity: "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness." But Kaddish, about Ginsberg's insane mother, who died in 1956, is a masterpiece of candor and emotional persuasion: "The Charity of her hands stinking with Manhattan, madness, desire to please me, cold...
...considerations," explains Egger. "Prices in real estate became of no concern. Tax benefits were being sold." Decisions in business, Egger points out, "should be based on economics, not on taxes." The overhaul proposed by Treasury, says Tax Scholar Charles McLure, who was a principal draftsman, is "a free-market manifesto." Ronald Reagan is a client...

If the wrong person killed that doe, he would be transported or hanged...
...constantly rethinking his ideas, has always hesitated to commit his formulations to print. But now two new publications have made this master of Halakha (traditional law) accessible to a broad U.S. audience. The first: Halakhic Man (Jewish Publication Society; 164 pages; $12.95), a translation of a major manifesto published in Hebrew in 1944. The second, just issued for the High Holy Days, is Soloveitchik on Repentance (Paulist Press; 320 pages; $11.95). Compiled by an Israeli disciple of Soloveitchik's, Pinchas Peli, Repentance is based on transcriptions of Yom Kippur discourses that the Rav delivered in New York City over...
