staid sermon, this paean, "Why I Am Thankful To Be An American", is a gently humorous account of an immigrant family. It is a recounting of their struggles, interrupted by a Ben's still-lilting baritone warbling what must be his theme song: "I Met a Million Dollar Baby at the Five and Ten Cent Store." The tape, which includes a portion of the religious service, songs and prayers familiar to Jews and Christians alike, is an admix of pride and humility. Ben tells of the young woman, his mother, Mary, arriving at the Port of Galveston

shortly after World War I. Settling in Houston with her family, she meets and falls in love with another young Austrian immigrant. Max Klinger is first a shoemaker, and later a shopkeeper. They have a small grocery, then a hard- ware store, and as their finances improve, they purchase a "dry goods" store on Washington Avenue. With family quarters on the second floor, it's easy for Ben and his older brother, Sol, to work in the store after school and on weekends. When he is 10 years old, Ben is charged with managing the hardware department, buying and displaying, as well as selling the merchandise.

After war is declared in 1941, Sol enlists in the Army Air Corps and is stationed at Ellington Air Force Base outside Houston. "It was a good arrangement," says the practical Ben, "because he could be at the store on weekends." Ben, too, interrupts his studies at the Rice Institute to serve his country as a navigator, flying B-17s out of Foggia, Italy, over targets in northern Italy, southern Germany, and his parents' homeland, Austria. Back in Houston, Mother Klinger "some- ." how kept the store going. . When the brothers return after the war, Sol, the eldest, is given management of the dry goods store and the familly searches for a pos- sible store for Ben and Alice.

All writers are alike. They spend their days confronting the terror of a blank page and their nights agonizing over the results: they won't be published. If they are published they won't be reviewed. If they are reviewed they won't be able to leave their homes in this lifetime. If the reviews are good their work will be dismissed as "high- brow" and "inaccessible" and their publishers will pull them off the promotional tour. Above all there will be the familiar feeling that things are not going well. If you think in negative spirals, you are probably a writer, although you might not have known that about yourself until this moment. If Charles Maynard, Tom Wilson, George Burt you don't think in negative spirals, you are prob- and Max Apple ably not a writer, but a normal human being with access to a wide range of positive emotions — someone who can't imagine projecting the dark scenarios outlined above. In either case, whether you possess the temperament and inclinations of a writer or pursue your life with the confidence of Steve Young throwing touchdown passes for the Forty-Niners, you should have been present at the Friends of Fondren's annual Authors' Reception on the evening of January 25.

It was gratifying to learn from Tom Wil- son, one of the editors of this book, that cosmic dust is the "proto-stuff" of life, when I had always imagined that the opposite was true.
