...Your story on Senator Richard Russell and the South's fight on the so-called civil rights bill was, in TIME'S fashion, just one more sermon for compulsory integration-not so effective a sermon, however, as your picture of Manhattan's integrated teen-age gangsters was in support of Senator Russell and segregation...

Four years later he was a junior partner at the age of 25, but he had speculated so wildly that he had made no money of his own in the market and had lost $8,000 of his father's money. From these misadventures, Baruch learned to keep a cash reserve and stop overextending himself...

LOVE AMONG THE CANNIBALS, by Wright Morris (253 pp.; Harcourt, Brace; $3.50), carries built-in advertising. At one point, the protagonist rhapsodizes: "Old lecher with a love on every wind, and you young ones too, running in pimpled packs after the teen-age bitch with her perfumed heat, and you, too, pretty matron, under the hair dryer, this is your book...
