2: Sociologist SARA LAWRENCE-LIGHTFOOT has written a new book about the Black middle class, "I've Known Rivers: Lives of Loss and Liberation" (Addison-Wesley Publishing). In the book she follows the lives of six people who are at midlife and in the black middle class, reflecting on the "necessary losses" for the price of privilege. Her book was written, in part, as a response to the 1957 book "Black Bourgeoisie" by the black sociologist Franklin Frazier. LAWRENCE-LIGHTFOOT took issue with Frazier's portrait of middle class blacks as materialistic assimilationists, repressed and disconnected from the larger black community. LIGHTFOOT is herself the product of the Black middle class. Her mother is a child psychoanalyst and was the subject of LIGHTFOOT's 1984 book, "Balm in Gilead: Journey of a Healer." LIGHTFOOT teaches at Harvard and was a recipient of a MacArthur Prize Award.

Pub-goers in London cheer Queen Elizabeth II's announcement that Parliament will soon consider allowing pubs to stay open 24 hours. Currently, pubs must close at 11 p.m. NPR's Robert Siegel talks with London pub manager Charlotte Renick. (This story was corrected on air on Nov. 14, 2002: "It's Thursday, the day we read from your letters, and we start with a correction to yesterday's program. I said that Britain's pubs have closed early, ever since World War II. Our thanks to Charles Day in Bozeman, Montana, Marc James Small in Roanoke, Virginia and Peg Willingham in Arlington, Virginia. All pointed out that closing the pubs early was a World War I innovation, part of the Defence of the Realm Act. Mr. Day notes that the law was "affectionately known to the British' by its acronym 'DORA.' The logic of the pub closings was, he writes, 'to keep factory production levels high. Factory workers, particularly the ammunition factory workers, would be home from the pubs at a reasonable hour so that they would show up well rested on the factory floor the next morning.'"
