description: These topical essays reveal Calvin Trillin at his barbed and irrepressible best. Dealing with matters of the family, he tells the tale of a couple who were at first pleased that their twenty-six-year-old son had finally moved out and then realized that they had lost the ability to videotape. In the field of world affairs, he deals with the role of astrologers ("The planets are perfect for trading arms for hostages and saying you didn't"), and whether the language laws in Quebec really require the hiring of a mime who doesn't speak French rather than a mime who doesn't speak English.
