      The Courage To Be Happy

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather

    THREE LONG YEARS…

    For three years Jane Barton has written a letter every week to Sgt. Ethan Campbell, her dearest childhood friend…and the man she’s secretly loved for ages.

She stopped short when she came up the stairs with the work for the day, but she said nothing, just brought the sketches for the riding habit Mrs. Bellows had ordered the previous day over to the wide worktable.
