NAMES AND FACES

Even fine writing in response couldn't make justice of the fact that American writer Isaac Bashevis Singer was under police guard in Stockholm, Sweden, this weekend because of threatening, anti-Semitic letters. The 80-year-old writer, who won the 1978 Nobel Prize for his tales of Jewish life in prewar Poland, received one letter at his home in New York and a second sent to a Swedish publisher. A publishing spokeswoman said, "Singer finds the situation very unpleasant." Police suspect a Swede wrote the letters, but no one has been charged.
