LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
nless we know what causes an act of violence, it is hard to put it behind us. No theory or statistical sample has yielded a conclusive explanation of why some people assault, maim, rape, and murder. But a new book by Richard Rhodes, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, attempts to do just that.
Violence by law enforcement personnel is also making news across the country, and Amnesty International, has chosen police brutality in America as its main issue for 1999. Chicago is dealing with several high-profile cases.
Few want to be reminded that the life of the spirit depends upon how we withstand being broken. So Hemingway's critics talk a lot about his life and a little about his style, but they steer clear of his vision because of the ruthless demands his vision makes upon one's integrity.
Plus, opposing development, water heaters, and more.
