try to control the phenomenon.

American Writer" (St. Martin's). In telling his family's story, and
remembering the deaths of his father and brother,

to talk about how all these family ties have
shaped the life he's created as a poet and educator in Washington DC.

remembrance of actor ALEC GUINESS.
