...Harvard community. It is also famous for only presenting one side's views, namely, that side's views which happen to agree with those of The Crimson's editorial staff. Holly Idelson's book review/editorial. "Extraordinary Politicians," is an excellent example of this type of one-sided presentation. Because Ms. Idelson's review of the Right-to-Life movement contains so many half-truths and illogical arguments, it is hard to know where to begin if one wishes to sot the record straight. But, in the interest of presenting the "opposite side" of a complex issue, try I must...
...fact into consideration when casting our votes. We are not, however, single-issue voters; I myself abhor the single-interest politics that is exemplified by the pro-lifers and most other special-interest groups.

"I'm French-kissing you now," cooed the would-be seducer. To which the kids promptly typed: "P-tooey...
...Ms. Kantor is a Prospero with a word processor hooked to a memory bank stuffed with 10,000 popular novels. Her books are put together with pieces of these old fictions. But there can be glitches: "Rosemary's word processor is on the blink and she is not getting the sort of scenes that Rogue Duke needs. But Redbook is pressing her. So Rosemary tries to dredge up some Georgette Heyer channel-packet stuff. Instead Rosemary gets a Bulwer-Lytton trireme, by mistake...
