Capsule summaries

I've removed the capsule summaries for two of the novels, since we have separate pages for them (and there's no need to say "see separate article"). All of these summaries are weak and should be rethought, if not simply trashed; the silliest (since removed) was the second sentence of the description of Foreign Affairs: "Vinnie Miner meets Chuck Mumpson and his daughter Barbie." 850 C (talk) 18:11, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

I found a second source that supports the husband's account, see https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/alison-lurie-prize-winning-novelist-dead-at-94/2020/12/03/5a5e8048-35c5-11eb-9699-00d311f13d2d_story.html I will add it to the source information if not already included.

The USA Today story and the WaPo story are the same—they're both from the Associated Press. Doesn't hurt to have both, I suppose, but it's the same content. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 18:40, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
