“If it’s Sunday, it’s Clarice,” is the eager expectation of tens of thousands of devoted fans of Clarice Feldman. Alas (for us), on this Sunday and the next two, we will be without her wit and clarity. Clarice is taking a well-deserved vacation and is visiting places far away, seeing and experiencing new things, including some pretty remote and exotic itineraries.

But on April 7, all will be right in the world again, as she will be back and delighting us with her observations of the week just ended, and maybe a story or two about her trip.
