"You're a smart boy. Benny's death was no accident, and you're the only

who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it?" The boy

was starting stubbornly at his lap again.

A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, "Did you …You recognized the man

in the car, didn't you?" The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, "Maybe,"

he said quietly.

Short Stories

She wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don't want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won't. Some mothers love so their daughters won't.

You Are Free by Danzy Senna

(Riverhead Books,$15)

Do your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times! Do you like to watch your kids having fun? Bring them to Fun Times! Fun Times!'s "amusement cycling" is the most fun you can have, legally, in the United States right now. Why spend thousands of dollars flying to Disney World when you can spend less than half of that within a day's drive of most cities?

While traveling in Tokyo recently with a Japanese colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin.

Do you mind if I try?”I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath.

He asked the group again, “Any comments or questions?”

Still, no one raised a hand but this time he looked very carefully

at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said,
