The last review from Robert Pincus, laid off as San Diego Union-Tribune books and arts editor last week, in a reorganization predicted in March by Jeff Light, the newspaper's new editor.  In a note of protest to his editors, literary agent Sandy Dijkstra notes, “In her Nobel Prize acceptance speech, “Nadine Gordimer cited Camus’ warning:'One either serves the whole of man or does not serve him at all.
