...Anno's Alphabet (Crowell; $6.95), Artist Mitsumasa Anno exhibits a gifted mind as well as hand. Twenty-six illustrations mount ingenious optical illusions in the shape of letters (see story head above-? 1974 by Fukuinkan-Sho-ten);on the opposite pages are objects beginning with those letters.

A far tougher fight may have to be waged against alphabet agencies that have become highly independent fiefdoms. So far, White House strategy has been 1) to urge these bureaucracies to weigh the inflationary consequences of their decisions and 2) to maneuver for greater price competition within the existing rules rather than press for outright deregulation of entire industries. Later this spring, Ford plans to preach price-consciousness to the heads...
