Robinson’s characters are often blindsided by life-or-death decisions, and the humor of his stories tends to give way to something deeper and creepier. In “The Diver,” for instance, a husband offers a local $50 to untangle his yacht’s propeller, and realizes how menacing the man is only when the guy’s on his boat, leering at his wife and asking to hold his baby. Ian McEwan might have written a story like “The Diver” 25 years ago, and ended it with a sea of blood....

NEWSWEEK: How significant are the results of this trial? Peter S. Creticos: I really think this is a major advance. We haven’t changed our approach to allergies in a long time.

We’re saying we can short-circuit the process and shut off the inflammation with six injections, and it has long-lasting protection. It lasts at least two seasons....

(Ladies’ Home Journal, Better Homes and Gardens and 14 other titles), is an iconoclast who wants managers to shed “the macho scab of business” and realize that “even firing can be an act of caring.” Showing just how sensitive he is, he repeatedly breaks into poems with titles like “The Memo” (“It looked like any other memo, / corporate proper and neat,”) and “The Leader” (“a balancing act is more tiring / than you think”)....

Police, state legislators and local activists say that something must be done.

America’s eager consumers have long been the world’s buyers of first and last resort. But it seems unlikely that U.S. trade deficits will increase by the $50 billion to $100 billion a year necessary for this to continue. What happens then? Good question. A healthy trading system requires that countries be both eager exporters and importers.
