Making Sense

This is a collection of columns by a Pulitzer-Prize-winning Boston Globe writer, published in 1989. Some of the material is dated, especially the columns devoted to public figures (Oliver North, Jessica Hahn, Cory Aquino, Fawn Hall) and news (Baby M, AIDS, yuppies...). That doesn't mean the columns aren't interesting, though. If you lived through it you might enjoy the reading it now, through your current persepctive. If you didn't, hey, you might learn something. And there are plenty of columns about timeless things -- generation gaps, college kids, relationships.... She's a pretty good writer.
