  6. Living in dangerous times

    The prospect of interviewing Don DeLillo produces a certain anxiety. DeLillo, one of the most heralded American novelists of the past 40 years, has a reputation for being inaccessible, emotionally and otherwise. While by no means a recluse like J.D. Salinger, DeLillo, 75, gives interviews rarely, and on those occasions divulges little about his personal life. And like his famously intense, highly polished, vaguely chilly books &mdash; reviewers often describe his characters as cold &mdash; there's something about him that discourages intimacy. He is, first and last, a mystery, and seems to prefer it that way.

  7. Life's tough lessons

    When author Nami Mun was 13, she ran away from her family's Bronx apartment. She survived by holding down odd jobs and living wherever she could &mdash; on benches, in shelters or squatting in abandoned buildings. In her early 20s, she found steady employment, got an apartment and went back to school. Eventually, she graduated from the University of Michigan with a master's degree in creative writing at age 39.

  9. The bloodiest day: The legacy of Antietam

    One hundred fifty years ago today, two great armies clashed in a titanic struggle that would decide the fate of a nation. "Around a cornfield and a little white Dunker church, around a stone bridge and in a pasture lane worn by cow paths, surged a human tornado," wrote Carl Sandburg many years later. Never before or since has such a deadly concentration of firepower been unleashed on the American continent.

  12. Book review: West Coast photo icons developed in Glendale

    One of the more hidebound notions about American art is that modern art photography was strictly an East Coast phenomenon, and that Los Angeles represented a cultural backwater. Last fall's publication of &ldquo;Artful Lives,&rdquo; Beth Gates Warren's groundbreaking study of modernist photo icons Edward Weston and Margrethe Mather, thoroughly debunks this falsehood.
