I'm about to broaden my horizon and travel to Fort McClellan, Ala., where I am going to represent a sergeant in a general courtmartial. Fate is not with us since he'll be tried by a jury of military police. I'm certain they will be fair and impartial.

Mary Ellen lives in New York City. Her second book, LoveBlocks, will be published this fall. Mel is becoming well known in New York for her recent article, "The Yale Chin."
