...best, the President's letter contained a dubious view of the Senate's constitutional role. The Constitution states that the President "shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint . . . judges of the Supreme Court." The responsibility to propose is the President's alone; the power to dispose is shared...
...laughter, a corroboree of chuckles, whinnies and convulsions. And it shows in her writing. Simple in style, mundane in subject matter, her thrice-weekly column for 200 newspapers (including the Chicago Sun-Times and the Boston Globe) has a title that precisely conveys her puckish point of view. She calls it "At Wit's End." What most tickles Erma, a former women's news reporter for the Dayton Journal Herald, is her unfashionable fascination with being a housewife.

WELFARE. A five-man majority recently ruled that welfare recipients are constitutionally entitled to hearings before their stipends are cut off. Burger's dissent typified his view that the court should not intervene when other parts of Government have recently acted.

The most complex and abstract figure is Jack Dales' Cubed Woman No. 3, a rigidly geometric construction of glass photographic plates in a Plexiglas cube. From each...
...most famous character, is Oskar the dwarf, the protagonist of his first novel, The Tin Drum. The book sold more than 1,500,000 copies around the world (about 600,000 in the U.S.), as appalled and fascinated readers in 16 languages absorbed the dwarf's devastating, knee-high view of the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Oskar's "sing-scream" could shatter glass. His magic drum carried him back and forth in time. One of his best tricks was breaking up Nazi rallies by hiding beneath the speakers' platforms and beating out counterrhythms on the tin drum...
