...outside and find some. The freshest thing outside, however, is not the crisp Connecticut air, but Larry, my new Mashantucket Pequot friend. Sitting on a bench, taking some notes, I hear a phone ring at a valet station. Larry hears...
...somehow, this argument does not ring true. While the numbers point to better minority/police relations, the evidence tells otherwise. We want to believe that the Diallo killing was a tragic exception, but the shooting of innocent black men has too often been deemed a "justifiable homicide," and the 41 bullets fired at Amadou Diallo are too reminiscent of the gratuitous physical violence of America's past.

Sohn's comparison of the implications of the slash to a boxer delivering a fatal blow in the ring is off-base.

Romance requires more than ratings, more than a gimmick and more than a $35,000 diamond ring. It requires a relationship. Even in fiction, we demand a meeting of minds, hearts and bodies. A connection between two people that makes us believe in all the complexities of love. I can't write a believable romance novel without characters who care, who have substance, who have heart--and who are willing to spend the time and effort to get to know, trust...
